Explanation:
The standard form of the equation of a circle is.
#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)((x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2)color(white)(a/a)|)))#
where (a ,b) are the coordinates of the centre and r, the radius.here centre = (7 ,0) hence a = 7 , b = 0 and r = 10.
Substitute these values into the standard equation.
#(x-7)^2+(y-0)^2=10^2#
#rArr(x-7)^2+y^2=100" is the equation of the circle"#
