Answer:

(x - 7)² + (y - 2)² = 4

Explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Here (h, k ) = (7, 2 ) and r = 2 , then

(x - 7)² + (y - 2)² = 2² , that is

(x - 7)² + (y - 2)² = 4 ← equation of circle
