Complete the square on :

Divide the coefficient on the first degree term by 2 and square the result. -2 divided by 2 is -1. -1 squared is 1. Add the result to both sides of the equation:



Factor the perfect square trinomial in :



Re-write as :



A circle centered at and with radius has an equation:



So find the point and draw a circle with radius 3 centered there.
