Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the equation of a circle with a center at (7, 2) and a point on the circle at (2, 5).
First, recall that the equation of a circle is given by:
Where (<em>h, k</em>) is the center and <em>r</em> is the radius.
Since our center is at (7, 2), <em>h</em> = 7 and <em>k</em> = 2. Substitute:
Next, the since a point on the circle is (2, 5), <em>y</em> = 5 when <em>x</em> = 2. Substitute:
Solve for <em>r: </em>

Simplify. Thus:
Finally, add:
We don't need to take the square root of both sides, as we will have the square it again anyways.
Therefore, our equation is:
