Explanation:

The equation of this circle is:

(x-3)^2 +(y+5)^2 = 16

The equatiin of a circle in general is:

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

a and b are the coordinates of the center and r is the radius

● in the given equation: (x-3)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 16

-3 and 5 are the coordinates if the center so start by ploting the center in the point (-3,5)

16 is the radius multiplied by itself

16 is 4×4 so the radius is 4

Take a four unit radius from the center and strat drawing your circle using a compass
