Answer:


(x-2)^2+(y+4)^2=34

Explanation:

The standard form for the equation of a circle is
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where h is the x coordinate of the center of the circle, k is the y coordinate, and r is the radius. Since you already know the coordinates of the center of the circle, all you need to do is find the radius. Using the distance formula:


r=√((7-2)^2+(-1-(-4))^2)=√(5^2+3^2)=√(25+9)=√(34)

The equation of the circle is therefore:


(x-2)^2+(y+4)^2=34

Hope this helps!
