Answer

The center point of the circle with this equation is (-5, 7)

And the radius of the circle = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation

The equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius, r, is given as

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

So, for the question given that the equation of the circle is

(x + 5)² + (y - 7)² = 36

We can write this as

(x + 5)² + (y - 7)² = 6²

Comparing this with

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

We can see that

h = -5

k = 7

r = 6

Hope this Helps!!!
