Hello lysxsa!

 

The standard equation for a circle with center (a,b) and radius of c is:

 

\((x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\)

 

Using this, we can create our equation necessary to answer the question. 

 

Since we already know the center and the radius, we can just plug in our values. 

 

\((x+8)^2+(y+13)^2=13^2=169\)

 

I hope this helped,

 

Gavin
