What are the coordinates of the center of the circle described by the equation x^2 + (y+5) ^2=16

centre = (0, - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h) ² + (y - k) ² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

x² + (y + 5) ² = 16 is in this form

with (h, k) = (0, - 5) ← centre
