Answer: (x + 2)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph,

diameter of circle = 8

radius = diameter/2 = 8/2 = 4

The x coordinate of the center = - 2

The y coordinate of the center = - 1

The equation of a circle in standard form is expressed as

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

where

h and k are the x and y coordinates of the center respectively

r is the radius

Substituting h = - 2, k = - 1 and r = 4 into the equation, the equation of the circle is

(x - - 2)^2 + (y - - 1)^2 = 4^2

(x + 2)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 16

The equation of the circle is

(x + 2)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 16
