(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2=r^2
Where a and b is the center of the circle. Therefore your answer is:
(x-5)^2 + (y+13)^2=1296

Answer:

(x+3)²+y²=36

Explanation:

The equation of a circle is

( x − h ) ² + ( y − k ) ² = r ² , where ( h , k ) is the center and r is the radius.

If the center is at ( − 3 , 0 ) and the endpoint of the radius is at ( 3 , 0 )

, then the length of the radius is the distance between the two points, which is 3 − ( − 3 ) = 6 .

We can substitute

(

3

,

0

)

for

(

h

,

k

)

, and

6

for

r

.
