Answer 1

$\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ (x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2 \qquad center~~(\stackrel{-4}{ h},\stackrel{9}{ k})\qquad \qquad radius=\stackrel{11}{ r} \\\\\\\ [x-(-4)]^2+[y-9]=11^2\implies (x+4)^2+(y-9)^2=121$

Answer 2

Answer:

The equation of the circle is $(x+4)^2+(y-9)^2=121$.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a circle is

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

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

It is given that the circle is centered at (−4, 9) and has a radius of 11.

Substitute h=-4, k=9 and r=11 in the above equation.

$(x-(-4))^2+(y-9)^2=(11)^2$

$(x+4)^2+(y-9)^2=121$

Therefore the equation of the circle is $(x+4)^2+(y-9)^2=121$.
