Step 1
Given point on circle (a, b)=(1, 8)
and radius r=7
As we know given equation of circle is i.e
(xa)2+(yb}2=r2
or (x+1)2+(y+8)2=(7)2=7
x2+1+2x+y2+64+16y=7
x2+y2+2x+16y+58=0
Hence option (a) is correct

Step 1
Recall that the equation of a circle is defined as:
(xx0)2+(yy0)2=r2
Where (x0, y0) is the center of the circle.
Given the data we have, we know that the radius of the circler must be 2(half the diameter). Thus, we know question must be;
(x(1))2+(y(8))2=7
