Answer

$(x+2)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=144$

Work Step by Step

The standard equation for a circle with centre $(h,k)$ and radius $r$ is given by $(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$ Given $(h,k)=(-2,3)$ and $r=12$. identify $h$, $k$ and $r$: $h=-2,$ $k=3$, $r=12$ determine the circle's equation: $(x-(-2))^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=12^{2}$ The equation of the given circle is $(x+2)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=144$
