Exercise 68 Page 644

(x+2)^2+(y-4)^2=81

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 ( - 2, 4) and its radius is 9. This information is enough to write the equation. (x-( - 2))^2+(y- 4)^2= 9^2 ⇕ (x+2)^2+(y-4)^2=81
