Answer: The center is (-7, 4) and the radius is 7.

Explanation:

The equation for a circle usually is:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

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

I guess that the equation in this case is:

(x + 7)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 49

then, in this case we have:

a = -7 and b = 4, then (a, b) = (-7, 4)

this means that the center of our circle is in the point (-7, 4)

and we know that:

R^2 = 49

R = √49 = 7

Then the radius is equal to 7.
