On a grid map of a province, the coordinates that correspond to the location of cellular phone tower is (-7, 4) and it can transmit signals up to a 12 km radius. What is the equation that represents the transmission boundaries of the tower? Is the household located at (5, -8) within the transmission boundaries?
----------------
Assuming (-7,4) is in km.
----
The coverage circle is

=================
Find the distance from (-7,4) to (5,-8)
If it's <= 12 kms it's within the boundaries.
