(x(1))2+(y2)2=72
or
(x+1)2+(y2)2=49

Explanation:

The equations of the circle is
(xh)2+(yk)2=r2
where h is the x of the center of the circle and k is the y of the center of the circle, and r is the radius.

(-1,2) radus is 7

h = -1
k = 2
r = 7

plug in the values
(x(1))2+(y2)2=72
simplify
(x+1)2+(y2)2=49
