We want to know which equation is most likely represented by the circle graphed.

For doing so, we remember the general equation of a circle:


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

In the equation, (h,k) is the center of the circle, and r is the radius. Thus, if we obtain the center and the radius of the circle, we will be able to obtain its equation. The center is on the point (-1, -6), as we see on the figure:

And the radius (the distance from the center to a point of the circle) is 4:

Replacing on the formula, we obtain that the equation that represents the circle graphed is:


\begin{gathered} (x-(-1))^2+(y-(-6))^2=4^2 \\ (x+1)^2+(y+6)^2=16 \end{gathered}
