The equation of a circle is given in the form [tex](x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2[/tex], where

(a, b) is the centre of the circle
r = radius

We have the centre of the circle (-27, 120)
We can work out the radius by modelling the radius as the hypotenuse of a triangle as shown in the diagram below

[tex]r^2=27^2+120^2[/tex]
[tex]r^2 = 15129[/tex]

The equation of the circle is

[tex][x-(-27)]^2+[y-120]^2=15129[/tex]
[tex][x+27]^2+[y-120]^2=15129[/tex]
