Exercise 2 Page 576

(x+2)^2+(y-5)^2=49

Practice makes perfect
Let's start by recalling the standard equation of a circle.

(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2 In this form, ( h, k) is the center of the circle and r is its radius. We are told that the center of the circle is ( - 2, 5) and its radius is 7. This information is enough to write the equation. (x-( - 2))^2+(y- 5)^2= 7^2 ⇕ (x+2)^2+(y-5)^2=49
