Write the equation of the circle with center C(-5,8) and radius = 7

( h + 5 )^2 + ( y - 8 ) ^2 = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle:

( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2

Where ( h , k ) = center and r = radius

We are given that the circle has a center at ( -5 , 8 ) meaning that h = -5 and k = 8

We are also given that the circle has a radius of 7 meaning that r = 7

Now that we have identified each variable we plug the values into the equation

( h - (-5)^2 + ( y - 8 )^2 = 7^2

Our final step is to simplify

we get that the equation of the circle is

( h + 5 )^2 + ( y - 8 ) ^2 = 49

By the way ^ means exponent

answer is x<
