General form of the equation of a circle is

( x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 where (a, b) is the centre and r = radius

So here it is (x - 1.3)^2 + (y - (-3.5))^2 = ( √37)^2

= (x - 1.3)^2 + (y + 3.5)^2 = 37 answer

Answer:


(x-1.3)^2+(y+3.5)^2=37

Explanation:

We have been given that a circle has a radius of
√(37) units and is centered at
(1.3,-3.5). We are asked to write an equation for our given circle.

We know that standard form of a circle is in form
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where,

(h,k) = Center of circle,

r = Radius of circle.

Upon substituting our given values in circle equation, we will get:


(x-1.3)^2+(y--3.5)^2=(√(37))^2


(x-1.3)^2+(y+3.5)^2=37

Therefore, our required equation would be
(x-1.3)^2+(y+3.5)^2=37.
