Step-by-step explanation: The circle equation can be represented as follows


(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

where a and b represents the coordinates x and y of the center of the circle and r represents the ratio.

Step 1: Once we already know all the information we need we can substitute in the formula as follows


\begin{gathered} (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2 \\ (x-5)^2+(y-(-7))^2=6^2 \\ (x-5)^2+(y+7)^2=36 \end{gathered}

Final answer: So the final answer is


(x-5)^2+(y+7)^2=36
