Explanation:
"the standard form of the equation of a circle is"the standard form of the equation of a circle is
color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)((x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2)color(white)(2/2)|)))
"where "(a,b)" are the coordinates of the centre and r"
"is the radius"
(x-9)^2+(y+11)^2=16" is in standard form"
"with "(a,b)=(9,-(-11))" and "r=sqrt16
"centre "=(9,11)" and radius "=4
