Answer:


\sf (x+14)^2+(y+5)^2=149

Explanation:

Standard equation of a circle:
\sf (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

(where (a, b) is the center and r is the radius of the circle)

Substitute the given center (-14, -5) into the equation:


\sf \implies (x-(-14))^2+(y-(-5))^2=r^2


\sf \implies (x+14)^2+(y+5)^2=r^2

Now substitute the point (-7, 5) into the equation to find r²:


\sf \implies ((-7)+14)^2+(5+5)^2=r^2


\sf \implies (7)^2+(10)^2=r^2


\sf \implies 149=r^2

Final equation:


\sf (x+14)^2+(y+5)^2=149

equation: (x + 14)² + (y + 5)² = 149

Given:

  • centre : ​(-14​,-5​)
  • point ​(​-7,​5)

=============

Formula's:

  • (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²
  • centre : (h, k)
  • radius : r
  • distance between points :
    \sf √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Find the radius:


\rightarrow \sf √((-7-(-14))^2 + (5-(-5))^2)


\sf \rightarrow √(\left(-7+14\right)^2+\left(5+5\right)^2)


\sf \rightarrow √(149)

Equation of circle:

  • (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²
  • (x-(-14))² + (y-(-5))² = (√149)²
  • (x + 14)² + (y + 5)² = 149
