Explanation:
Under a translation of
#((-18),(-7))# the origin (0 , 0) → (0-18 , 0-7) → (-18 , -7)
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 radiushere a = -18 , b = -7 and r = 12
#rArr (x + 18)^2 + (y + 7)^2 = 144" is the equation " #
