Does anyone mind giving me a hand and explaining it a little? Find the center and the radius r of the circle given by the following equation. (x + 7)2 + (y − 2)2 = 25

circle equation ...

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

center at coordinates $(h,k)$, radius = $r$

so, in your equation, (x + 7)^2 + (y − 2)^2 = 25, ...

what is $h$ ?

what is $k$ ?

what is $r$ ?
