Explanation:
The standard form of the equation of a circle is.
#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)((x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2)color(white)(a/a)|)))#
where (a ,b) are the coordinates of the centre and r, the radius.here a = 3 , b = -4 and r = 4
Substitute these values into the standard equation.
#(x-3)^2+(y+4)^2=16" is the equation"#
