D)(x+10)^2+(y+4)^2=5^2=25

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

We know that the general equation for a circle is


\begin{gathered} (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \\ \end{gathered}

where

(h,k) is the center of the circel

and r is the radius

then, all we need to do is replace

Let


\begin{gathered} \text{center}\Rightarrow(h,k)\Rightarrow(-10,-4) \\ \text{radius}\Rightarrow r\Rightarrow5 \end{gathered}

replace the values


\begin{gathered} (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \\ (x-(-10))^2+(y-(-4))^2=5^2 \\ (x+10)^2+(y+4)^2=5^2=25 \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is


D)(x+10)^2+(y+4)^2=5^2=25

I hope this helps you
