Answer:
(x + 1)² + (y - 6)² = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle in standard form is
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius.
The radius is the distance from the centre to a point on the circle.
Calculate r using the distance formula
r = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 1)
r = [tex]\sqrt{(-6+1)^2+(1-6)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-5)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{25+25}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{50}[/tex]
(h, k ) = (- 1, 6 ), then
(x - (- 1))² + (y - 6)² = ([tex]\sqrt{50}[/tex] )² , that is
(x + 1)² + (y - 6)² = 50 ← equation of circle
