Answer:

(x +8)^2 +(y +1)^2 = 16

Explanation:

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

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

For your center and radius, the equation is ...

(x -(-8))^2 +(y -(-1))^2 = 4^2

(x +8)^2 +(y +1)^2 = 16

Write the equation in standard form for thelcircle with center (-8, -1) and radius-example-1
