Answer

$(x+1)^2+(y-2)^2=25$

Work Step by Step

The distance formula from $A(x_1,y_1)$ to $B_2(x_2,y_2)$ can be written as: $$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$$ The distance between the center and $(3, 5)$ is the radius $r$. Thus, using the distance formula gives: $r=\sqrt{(5-2))^2+(3-(-1))^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5$ The standard form for a circle with radius $r$ and center $(h,k)$ can be written as: $$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$$ Thus, the equation of the circle whose center is at $(-1,2)$ and contains the point $(3, 5)$ is: $$(x+1)^2+(y-2)^2=5^2\\ (x+1)^2+(y-2)^2=25$$
