Answer:

(x + 4)² + (y + 1)² = 9

Explanation:

The general equation for a circle is given below:


\mleft(x-h\mright)^2+\mleft(y-k\mright)^2=r^2\text{ where }\begin{cases}r=\text{radius} \\ (h,k)=\text{center}\end{cases}

Given a circle with center (-4,-1) and radius 3, its equation is:


\begin{gathered} \mleft(x-(-4)\mright)^2+\mleft(y-(-1)\mright)^2=3^2 \\ \implies(x+4)^2+(y+1)^2=9 \end{gathered}

The correct option is the first one.
