Answer:

(x + 7)² + (y - 11)² = 64

Explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Here (h, k) = (- 7, 11) and r = 8, thus

(x - (- 7))² + (y - 11)² = 8², that is

(x + 7)² + (y - 11)² = 64 ← equation of circle
