Find the equation of a circle that is tangent the line x = -8 and is tangent to both coordinate axis.
----------------------
Draw the circle in a coordinate system.
The circle is tangent to x = -8 and to x = 0
The diameter = 8 so the center is at (-4,4)
---------------
Equation:
(x+4)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 4^2
