Given:

There is a equation of circle given in the question as below


\left(x+7\right)^2+(y-1)^2=9

Required:

We want to find the center and radius of given circle

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of circle is


(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

where (h,k) is the center of circle and r be the radius of circle

Now by comparing we get


\begin{gathered} (h,k)=(-7,1) \\ r^2=9\Rightarrow r=3 \end{gathered}

Final answer:

C
