#(x+2)^2+(y+1)^2=13#

Explanation:

#"the standard form of the equation of a circle is."#

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)((x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2)color(white)(2/2)|)))#

#"where "(a,b)" are the coordinates of the centre and r"#
#"is the radius"#

#"the centre is given and the distance from the centre to a "#
#"point on the circumference is the radius"#

#"to calculate r use the "color(blue)"distance formula"#

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(r=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2))color(white)(2/2)|)))#

#"let "(x_1,y_1)=(-2,-1)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-5,-3)#

#r=sqrt((-5+2)^2+(-3+1)^2)=sqrt(9+4)=sqrt13#

#rArr(x-(-2))^2+(y-(-1))^2=(sqrt13)^2#

#rArr(x+2)^2+(y+1)^2=13" is the equation"#
graph{(x+2)^2+(y+1)^2-13=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
