the standard equation of a circle is:
%28x-h%29%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2=r%5E2 where h and k are x and y coordinates of the center, and r is radius

given:
the center is at (-1,6), so we have h=-1 and k=6
and r=+sqrt%285%29+
%28x-%28-1%29%29%5E2%2B%28y-6%29%5E2=%28sqrt%285%29%29%5E2
%28x%2B1%29%5E2%2B%28y-6%29%5E2=5-> your equation
