Answer:

D) (x + 5)² + (y + 7)² = 36

Explanation:

_______________________________________________________

Note : a circle with center (a , b) and radius r has an equation of the form:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

_______________________________________________________

and according to the provided informations

a = -5

b = -7

r = 6

therefore

the equation of the circle is :


(x+5)^(2) +(y+7)^(2) =36
