Hello,

Let's calculate the radius:

r²=5²+7²=74

The circle's equation is (x+5)²+(y+7)²=74

Answer C

Answer:

The equation of the circle is (x + 5) ² + (y + 7)² = 74 .

Option (C) is correct .

Explanation:

The general equation of the circle is given by

(x - h) ² + (y - k)² = r²

Where (h,k) are the centre of the circle and r is the radius of the circle .

As given

A circle with center (-5, -7) that passes through the point (0, 0) .

As


r^(2)= (x_(2)-x_(1))^(2) + (y_(2)-y_(1))^(2)


x_(1) = -5


y_(1) = -7


x_(2) = 0


y_(2) = 0

Put in the equation


r^(2)= (0-(-5))^(2) + (0-(-7))^(2)


r^(2)= (5)^(2) + (7)^(2)


r^(2)= 25+49


r^(2)=74

As center of the circle is (-5, -7) and r² is 74 .

Put in the general form of the equation .

(x -(-5)) ² + (y - (-7))² = 74

(x + 5) ² + (y + 7)² = 74

Therefore the equation of the circle is (x + 5) ² + (y + 7)² = 74 .

Option (C) is correct .
