Circle equation: #(x-x_c)^2+(y-y_c)^2=r^2#
where #(x_c,y_c)# is the center and #r# is the radius

Explanation:

In your case:
The center is #(-5,2)# and the radius is #r=sqrt(7)# #=>#
#(x-(-5))^2+(y-2)^2=(sqrt(7))^2#
#(x+5)^2+(y-2)^2=7#

The circle equation can be written in many forms, some examples are here.
