The center of a circle is at (2, -5) and it's radius is 12. What is the equation of the circle?

A.) (x+2)^2 + (y-5)^2 =24
B.) (x-2)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 24
C.) (x+2)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 144
D.) (x-2)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 144

The equation for a circle is (x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2=r^2
You just have to plug in your coordinates h is the x and k is the y.
The r is radius squared.
so, (x-2)^2+(y-(-5)^2=144
You have to be careful of those tricky negative values. When you distribute the y-(-5) it turns into y+5. 
So your answer is D.
