%28x-h%29%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2+=+r%5E2 <---> center (h,k), radius r

Example: center (3,-2) and radius 5 --> %28x-3%29%5E2%2B%28y%2B2%29%5E2+=+25

Example: %28x%2B1%29%5E2%2B%28y-4%29%5E2+=+16 --> center (-1,4), radius 4

You are given the center (h,k); and with the given other point, the radius r is easy to find....
Simply plug those values in the formula.
