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 = - 1 and r = 7
substitute these values into the standard equation.
#(x-(-3))^2+(y-(-1))^2=7^2#
#rArr(x+3)^2+(y+1)^2=49" is the equation"#
