Answer

$x^2+(y +7)^2+z^2=49$

Work Step by Step

As we know the standard equation of sphere is $(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2+(z-c)^2=r^2$ ...(a) where $(a,b,c)$ represents center and radius of the sphere is $r$ Plug $a=0,b=-7,c=0, r=7$ in equation (a). Thus, we have $(x - 0)^2+(y -(-7))^2+(z -0)^2=(7)^2$ or, $x^2+(y +7)^2+z^2=49$
