Do the distance formula first! The distance formula is d=√(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2. For this, you would do d= √(-2- -14)^2 + (0-4)^2. You would get √(12)^2 + (-4)^2. The answers to those would be √144 + 16, doing an eventual √160. √16 and √10 go into √160. The final answer is 4√10.

(x + 8)2 + (y − 2)2 = 40
