(x-1)^2+(y+5)^2=9

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

(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 ( 1, - 5) and its radius is 3. This information is enough to write the equation. (x- 1)^2+(y-( - 5))^2= 3^2 ⇕ (x-1)^2+(y+5)^2=9
