The standard form of the equation of a circle with center \((h, k)\) and radius \(r\) is given by the formula:
\[ (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 \]
In this case, the center of the circle is at \((-1, 3)\) and the radius is \(5\).
-
Substitute \(h = -1\), \(k = 3\), and \(r = 5\) into the formula: \[ (x - (-1))^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 5^2 \]
-
Simplify the equation: \[ (x + 1)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25 \]
Thus, the correct equation of the circle in standard form is:
\[ (x + 1)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25 \]
So the correct response from the options provided is:
\((x + 1)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25\).
