What is standard form in pre-algebra?

The center of a circle represent by the equation (x+9)^2+(y-6)^2=10^2 (-9,6), (-6,9), (6,-9) ,(9,-6)

[10 points, algebra 2-simplifying complex fractions]according to my answer key the restrictions are -1 and 4. but why not positive 1?

Triangle xyz, with vertices x(-2, 0), y(-2, -1), and z(-5, -2), undergoes a transformation to form triangle x? y? z? , with vertices x? (4, -2), y? (4, -3), and z? (1, -4). the type of transformation that triangle xyz undergoes is a . triangle x? y? z? then undergoes a transformation to form triangle x? y? z? , with vertices x? (4, 2), y? (4, 3), and z? (1, 4). the type of transformation that triangle x? y? z? undergoes is a .
