Identify the center, radius, and graph of x²+(y+2)²=25. Enter the center as an ordered pair,including the comma. Enter the radius exactly. don not use a decimal approximation
Use the fact that

(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² is the equation of a circle,

where (h,k) = the center and r = the radius.

In your problem, x² + (y+2)² = 25, write x as (x-0) and 25 as 5²

(x-0)² + (y+2)² = 5²

Compare that to

(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²

and we see that h=0, k=-2, and r=5

so the center is (0,-2) and the radius is 5.
