color(blue)((x+1)^2+(y+1)^2=64)

Explanation:

The general equation of a circle is given as:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Where bbh and bbk are the bbx and bby coordinates respectively of the centre, and bbr is the radius.

We have:

h=-1

k=-1

r=8

Plugging in these values

(x-(-1))^2+(y-(-1))^2=(8)^2

=>(x+1)^2+(y+1)^2=64
