#(x-10)^2+(y-5)^2=121#

The general form of a circle:

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

Where:

#(h,k)# is the center
#r# is the radius

Thus, we know that

#h=10,k=5#
#r=11#

So, the equation for the circle is

#(x-10)^2+(y-5)^2=11^2#

Simplified:

#(x-10)^2+(y-5)^2=121#

graph{(x-10)^2+(y-5)^2=121 [-10.95, 40.38, -7.02, 18.63]}
