Answer:

(x-7)^2+(y-6)^2=25

Explanation:

If I were you, I would mark 7 as x and 6 as y. Whatever is in your parenthesis for center of the circle, do the opposite in your equation. Since you have positive 7 & positive 6, turn those into negative numbers for your equation. And for the radius, just times it two times. So 5•5=25

Answer:

( x-7)^2+(y-6)^2 = 25

Explanation:

The equation of a circle is given by

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

where ( h,k) is the center and r is the radius

( x-7)^2+(y-6)^2 = 5^2

( x-7)^2+(y-6)^2 = 25
