You can put this solution on YOUR website! Some intuitive and visual thinking tell us that (-3,0) is the other axis tangent point and radius is size 3, center at (-3,3). You could try to draw or sketch the description.

A circle in quadrant II is tangent to both axes. It touches the y axis at (0,3).
a.) at what point does it meet the x axis?
b.) find the coordinates of the center of the circle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Since the circle in quadrant II is tangent to both axes, its center lies on the bisector y = -x of the second quadrant.
Therefore
a.) at what point does it meet the x axis? - At the point (-3,0).
b.) find the coordinates of the center of the circle. - It is the point (-3,3).
