Answer

$\color{blue}{x^2+(y-3)^2=40}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The center-radius form of a circle whose center is at $(h, k)$ and whose radius is $r$ units is: $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ The given circle has its center at $(0, 3)$ Thus, the tentative equation of the circle is : $(x-0)^2+(y-3)^2=r^2 \\x^2+(y-3)^2=r^2$ To find the value of $r^2$, substitute the x and y values of the point $(-2, 6)$ to obtain: $(-2)^2+(3-6)^2=r^2 \\4+36=r^2 \\40=r^2$ Therefore, the equation of the circle is: $\\\color{blue}{x^2+(y-3)^2=40}$
