Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a cirlce:

(x - h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r ^2     center is (h,k)  radius is r

for this circle   h, k =  (-2,-1)   and radius = 7

 so the equation is

(x - -2) ^2  + ( y - -1)^2 = 7^2    expand and re-arrange

x^2 + +4x + 4    +  y^2 + 2y + 1 - 49 = 0   simplify

x^2 + y^2  + 4x  + 2y  -  44 = 0
