Answer:

(x-6)²+(y+3)²=17²

Explanation:

The equation of a circle with center (a,b) and radius r is given by the formula:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

In this case, the center of the circle is (6,-3), and it passes through the point (-9,5). To find the radius of the circle, we need to calculate the distance between the center and the point on the circle. Using the distance formula, we get:

r = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

= √[(-9 - 6)² + (5 - (-3))²]

= √[225 + 64]

= √289

= 17

So, the radius of the circle is 17. Now we can plug in the values for the center and radius into the equation of a circle:

(x - 6)² + (y + 3)² = 17²
