Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with center (8,−1) that passes through the point (6,7)

(x - 8)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the equation of the circle with center (8,−1) is :

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

If the circle passes through the point (6,7) that means that the point (6,7) is a solution of the equation and we can replace (x,y) with (6,7) to find R.

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
