Answer:

B. (x +4)² +(y +5)² = 64

Explanation:

The equation for a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is ...

(x -h)² +(y -k)² = r²

Filling in your given values, you have ...

(x -(-4))² +(y -(-5))² = 8²

Simplifying, you get ...

(x +4)² +(y +5)² = 64 . . . . . . . matches choice B

_____

Additional comment

As you learn more different "standard form" equations, it may be helpful to keep a list, along with reminders of what the variables stand for and how the equation is used.
