Find an equation of the circle that satisfies the stated conditions. (Give your answer in standard notation.) Center C(-6,7), passing through P(3,2)
***
Standard form of equation for a circle:
%28x-h%29%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2=r%5E2, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center, r=radius
..
(3+6)^2+(2-7)^2=r^2
9^2+(-5)^2=r^2
81+25=r^2
r^2=106
Equation of given circle:
%28x%2B6%29%5E2%2B%28y-7%29%5E2=106
