What is the equation of a circle with a center of (5, -2) and a radius of 9? Answers attached! 15 POINTS, DUE IN 2 HOURS and will give BRAINLIEST!

Answer:
[tex] (x - 5)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 81 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form of the equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r:
[tex] (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 [/tex]
Compare it to the given equation, and you get:
[tex] (x - 5)^2 + (y - (- 2))^2 = 9^2 [/tex]
[tex] (x - 5)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 81 [/tex]
