Consider we need to find the equation of the circle.

Given:

The Center at (-4,-1), radius = 2​.

To find:

The equation of the circle.

Solution:

The standard form of a circle is


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

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

Putting h=-4, k=-1 and r=2, we get


(x-(-4))^2+(y-(-1))^2=(2)^2


(x+4)^2+(y+1)^2=4

Therefore, the equation of the circle is
(x+4)^2+(y+1)^2=4.
