Answer

$x^2+(y +7)^2+z^2=49$

Work Step by Step

We know that the standard equation of a sphere is written as: $(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2+(z-z_0)^2=r^2\ \ \ $ (1) Here, $(x_0,y_0,z_0)$ represents the center and $r$ is the radius of the sphere. Since, we have $x_0=0,y_0=-7,z_0=0, r=7$ Plug all the above values in equation (1), then we get Thus, $(x - 0)^2+(y -(-7))^2+(z -0)^2=(7)^2$ Hence, $x^2+(y +7)^2+z^2=49$
