Use Completing The Square to put the equation into standard form, from which you can directly read the radius and center point, and graph accordingly.

Standard Form for a circle is ;
r is the radius, and (h,k) is the center point.


Start as ;
and the necessary term for x is ; and the necessary term for y is .
, and if this makes sense to you, good! Keep going until finished...
