Answer:

○ (x + 3)² + (y + 6)² = 36

Explanation:

According to one of the Circle Equations, (X - H)² + (Y - K)² = R², all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY careful inserting the center into the formula with their CORRECT signs. Then in the end, square the radius.

The radius is six, so squaring this will give you thirty-six.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
