2x-3y%2B3=0
-3y=-2x-3
y=%282%2F3%29x%2B1
Center on a general point ( x, (2/3)x+1 ).

A(-3,1) point on circle
2, radius of circle

%28x-%28-3%29%29%5E2%2B%28%282x%2F3%2B1%29-1%29%5E2=2%5E2, which would come from using Distance Formula. Solve this to get a solution for x, and use it to find y, for your circle's center point.
