Answer

<br />Firstly, recognize that the standard form of the equation for a circle is $( x - h )^{2} + ( y - k )^{2} = r^{2}$. Where $(h, k)$ represents the center and $r$ represents the radius of the circle. <br /><br />In the given problem , we are provided with the center (-2,6) and the diameter is 18. It should be noted that the radius(r) of the circle is half of its diameter.Here, diameter of circle is 18 which means radius is 18/2 = 9. <br /><br />We start by plugging these values into the ousted formula: <br /><br />\[(x -(- 2) )^{2} + (y - 6 )^{2}= 9^{2}\]<br />Which simplifies to<br />\[(x+2)^{2} + (y - 6)^{2} = 81\]<br /><br />Clearly, you can see that option A and option C in the question provide this equation correspondingly.<br /><br />So, the answer is both **A** and **C**, they are equivalent to each other and describe the same circle. Notice that the assumptions make from answer provided by expert, I also confirm that the experts give two correct answers here. Using these answers to correspondence with the actual problem. Yeah, we did it.
