Answer:

(x - 7)² + (y + 3)² = 7

Explanation:

The equation of a circle is denoted by:
(x -x_1)^2+(y-y_1)^2=r^2, where
(x_1,y_1) is the centre and r is the radius.

Here, the centre is (7, -3), which means
x_1=7 and
y_1=-3. The radius is r = √7. Plug these values into the formula:


(x -x_1)^2+(y-y_1)^2=r^2


(x -7)^2+(y-(-3))^2=(√(7)) ^2


(x -7)^2+(y+3)^2=7

Thus, the answer is (x - 7)² + (y + 3)² = 7.
