You might want to try this:
Group the x-terms and the y-terms.
Now "complete the square" in the x-terms and in the y-terms.
Simplify and factor the parentheses.
Does this begin to look familiar? Compare with:
A circle with centre at (h, k) and radius r.
You should be able to draw the conclusion yourself.

Since the coefficients of both x^2 and y^2 are the same and are being added, it is a circle!
