Answer:

The equation of a circle is [tex](x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=4[/tex] .

Step-by-step explanation:

-The equation of a circle is:

[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex] (where center is [tex](h,k)[/tex], the point [tex](x_{1},y_{1})[/tex] and the radius known as [tex]r[/tex]).

-Use the center (5,-4) and the point (5,-2) for the equation:

[tex](5-5)^2+(-2+4)^2=r^2[/tex]

-Solve the equation:

[tex](5-5)^2+(-2+4)^2=r^2[/tex]

[tex]0 + (-2)^2=r^2[/tex]

[tex]4 = r^2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{4} = \sqrt{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]2 = r[/tex]

-After you found the radius, use the center (5, -4)  and radius 2 to get the equation of a circle:

[tex](x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=2^2[/tex]

-Then, after you have the equation, the radius needs to simplified by the exponent:

[tex](x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=4[/tex]
