What is the standard equation of a circle?
(x+3)^2+(y+3)^2=81
In this form, ( h, k) is the center of the circle and r is its radius. Let's consider the graph of our circle.
We see that the center of the circle is ( - 3, - 3) and its radius is 9. This information is enough to write the equation. (x-( - 3))^2+(y-( - 3))^2= 9^2 ⇕ (x+3)^2+(y+3)^2=81
