The general form of the equation of a circle is:

(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2 

Where, (h, k) is the centre of the circle. 

r is the radius of the circle.

In this question we know that (h, k) = (2, - 5), so for determining the equation of the circle we need to determine the radius of the circle.

Since the circle passes through (3, 2), that pair of values for x and y must satisfy the equation and we have:

⇒ (3 - 2)2 + (2 - ( - 5))2 = r2 

⇒ 12 + 72 = r2

 ⇒ r2 = 49 + 1 = 50 

∴ r2 = 50 

⇒ Equation of circle is:

(x - 2)2 + (y - ( - 5))2 = 50 

⇒ (x - 2)2 + (y + 5)2 = 50 

(x - 2)2 + (y + 5)2 = 50
