In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

Center ( -8 , 7)

Diameter = 6

Step 02:

Circle equation

(x - xo) ² + (y - yo) ² = r ²

xo = - 8

yo = 7

r = d / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3

(x - (-8))² + (y - 7) ² = 3 ²

(x + 8) ² + (y -7)² = 9

The answer is:

(x + 8) ² + (y -7)² = 9
