Answer:

A)
(x+4)^2+(y-4)^2=25

Explanation:

The equation of a circle is
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where
(h,k) is the center and
r is the radius. If
(h,k)\rightarrow(-4,4) and
r=5, then:


(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\\\(x-(-4))^2+(y-4)^2=5^2\\\\(x+4)^2+(y-4)^2=25

Therefore, the equation of the circle is
(x+4)^2+(y-4)^2=25
