I need this problem from my prep guide answered, it has four answer options and I will provide another picture with the rest of the answer optionsThe subject is pre-Calc


Given,
The equation of circle is,
[tex](x+1)^2+(y+3)^2=16[/tex]The standard equation of cicle is,
[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]Where, (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.
On compring the standard equation of circle with given equation then,
[tex](h,k)=(-1,-3)[/tex]Both the coordinates of the center of the circle is negative. Thus, lies in the third quadrant.
Here, the circle of option A has its center at third quadrant.
Hence, option A is correct.
