Write the standard form of the equation of a circle with center (-2, 3) and radius 5?

A (x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 25
B (x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25
C (x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 5
D (x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 5

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

The standard form of a circle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius. Substituting h=-2, k=3, and r=5 gives (x - (-2))^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 5^2, which simplifies to (x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25.
