radius = 7
center = (-3, 1)

Equation for a circle is: r² = (x-h)² + (y-k)²
where r = radius, (h,k) = center
fill in the values to get:
7² = (x+3)² + (y-1)²

Answer: C)
(x+3)^2+(y-1)^2=49

Explanation:

From the given figure it can be seen that the centre of the circle is at (-3,1)

and the distance from the center to the boundary = 7 units.

i.e. radius of the given circle = 7 units

We know that , the standard equation of circle is given by :-


(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where (h,k) represents the center of the circle and r represents the radius of the circle.

Therefore, the equation of the given circle will be:-


(x-(-3))^2+(y-1)^2=7^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x+3)^2+(y-1)^2=49
