(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2(xa)2+(yb)2=r2

Where (a,b)(a,b) are the coordinates of the center.

d=2r

24= 2r

24/2=r242=r

r=12

Substituting values,

(x+3)^2+(y+10)^2=144(x+3)2+(y+10)2=144

x^2+6x+9+y^2+20y+100=144x2+6x+9+y2+20y+100=144

x^2+y^2+6x+20y+100+9-144=0x2+y2+6x+20y+100+9144=0

x^2+y^2+6x+20y-35=0x2+y2+6x+20y35=0
