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.in this question a = 1 , b = -3 and r = 10
Substitute these values into the standard equation.
#(x-1)^2+(y-(-3))^2=10^2#
#rArr(x-1)^2+(y+3)^2=100" is the equation"#
