Write the standard form equation of the circle described. Centered at ; radius:
A
B
C
D
Verified step by step guidance
1
Recall the standard form equation of a circle is given by \(\left(x - h\right)^2 + \left(y - k\right)^2 = r^2\), where \((h, k)\) is the center and \(r\) is the radius.
Identify the center coordinates from the problem: the center is at \((-3, 5)\), so \(h = -3\) and \(k = 5\).
Identify the radius from the problem: the radius is \$7\(, so \)r = 7$.
Substitute the values of \(h\), \(k\), and \(r\) into the standard form equation: replace \(h\) with \(-3\), \(k\) with \$5\(, and \)r^2\( with \)7^2$.
Write the equation carefully, remembering that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding, so the equation becomes \(\left(x - (-3)\right)^2 + \left(y - 5\right)^2 = 49\), which simplifies to \(\left(x + 3\right)^2 + \left(y - 5\right)^2 = 49\).
