Answer:

(x+8)² + (y - 9)² = 100

Explanation:

The general equation of a circle is expressed as;

(x-a)² + (y - b)² = r² where;

(a, b) is the centre of the circle

r is the radius

Given

Centre (-8, 9) where a = -8, b = 9

radius r = 10

Substitute into the formula to get the required equation;

(x-(-8))² + (y - 9)² = 10²

(x+8))² + (y - 9)² = 10²

(x+8)² + (y - 9)² = 100

Hence the required equation is (x+8)² + (y - 9)² = 100
