Answer:


(x+1)^2+(y+2)^2=25

Explanation:


\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5 cm}\underline{Equation of a circle}\\\\$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $(a, b)$ is the center. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $r$ is the radius.\\\end{minipage}}

Given:

  • Center = (-1, -2)
  • Point on the circle = (2, 2)

Substitute the given center and solution point into the formula and solve for r²:


\implies (2-(-1))^2+(2-(-2))^2=r^2


\implies (2+1)^2+(2+2)^2=r^2


\implies (3)^2+(4)^2=r^2


\implies 9+16=r^2


\implies 25=r^2

Substitute the given center and found value of r² into the formula to create an equation of a circle with the given characteristics:


\boxed{(x+1)^2+(y+2)^2=25}
