In a circle, the point of symmetry is the centerpoint; any straight line that passes through this point is a line of symmetry. The standard form of equation of a circle is given as:

(x – h)^2 + (y – k )^2 = r^2

Where,

h = x coordinate of the center

k = y coordinate of the center

In the problem statement, we are given that the equation of the circle is:

(x – 5)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 25

So identifying the variables from the standard form of equation of a circle:

h = 5

k = - 4


Therefore the point of symmetry is (5, -4).
