### Understanding Coordinates and Circles on a Cartesian Plane

#### Introduction
This diagram illustrates two circles plotted on a Cartesian coordinate plane, which is a standard graphical representation of algebraic equations. The circles are labeled as \( C \) and \( D \).

#### Diagram Description

1. **Cartesian Coordinate Plane**:
   - The horizontal line represents the X-axis, labeled with tick marks extending from -4 to 4.
   - The vertical line represents the Y-axis, labeled similarly from -4 to 4.
   - The origin, the point where the X and Y axes intersect, is labeled as \( O \).

2. **Circle \( D \)**:
   - Circle \( D \) is centered at approximately \((0, 3)\).
   - The radius of circle \( D \) extends from \((0, 3)\) to about \((0, 7)\) or \((0, -1)\), indicating a radius of 4 units.

3. **Circle \( C \)**:
   - Circle \( C \) is centered at approximately \((2, -2)\).
   - The radius of circle \( C \) extends from \((2, -2)\) to about \((3, -2)\) or \((1, -2)\), indicating a radius of 1 unit.

#### Analysis of the Diagram

- The circles illustrate basic properties of shapes on a Cartesian plane, such as their radii and their centers’ coordinates.
- Circle \( D \) is larger than circle \( C \) and is positioned primarily in the upper part of the graph.
- Circle \( C \) is notably smaller and located in the lower-right quadrant of the graph.

#### Conclusion
Understanding this diagram is fundamental in learning how to plot points and shapes accurately on a coordinate plane, which is essential in algebra and geometry. The centers and radii of the circles are clear, emphasizing the importance of coordinates in defining geometrical shapes.

This educational representation aims to help students grasp the basics of plotting and analyzing circles on a Cartesian plane.
