(x −2)2+(y+5)2=12
(x −2)2+(y+5)2=12

(x +2)2+(y−5)2=144
(x +2)2+(y−5)2=144

(x −2)2+(y+5)2=144
(x −2)2+(y+5)2=144

(x +2)2+(y−5)2=12

The equation of a circle in standard form is given by:

\[
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
\]

where \((h, k)\) is the center of the circle and \(r\) is the radius.

For the circle with center at \((2, -5)\) and radius \(12\):

- The center \((h, k) = (2, -5)\)
- The radius \(r = 12\), therefore \(r^2 = 12^2 = 144\)

Substituting these values into the equation, we have:

\[
(x - 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 144
\]

Thus, the correct equation of the circle is:

\[
\boxed{(x - 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 144}
\]
