I'm not sure what the curve of x=-(sqrt(1-(y-1)^2)) would look like....anyone know??

Square both sides and add (y-1)^2 to both sides and you should see a familiar looking form.Quote:

Sounds good. But you weren't given the ending formula, you were given the negative square root part. How does that affect the graph?Quote:

When you take conics and apply a square root, the result is a split in the graph. In your problem x is always going to be negative so I believe this implies that it is the circle you first mentioned, cut in half vertically, and the left side of the half circle.
