Answer:

(x+1)^2 + (y-7)^2 = 2^2

Explanation:

The center of the circle is at (-1,7) and the radius from the center to the edge is 2, so the equation should look like (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

You would flip the signs of the center so that when you solve the equation it ends up in the correct place.
