The standard form of the circle equation is:
[tex] {(x - h)}^{2} + {(y - k)}^{2} = {r}^{2} [/tex]
In this problem,
r = 4
h = -2
k = -3
Therefore, we just plug in the numbers and simplify:
[tex] {(x - ( - 2))}^{2} + {(y - ( - 3))}^{2} = {(4)}^{2} \\ {(x + 2)}^{2} + {(y + 3)}^{2} = 16[/tex]
The correct answer is A
