The info given in the post is not sufficient.

Additional information is needed, which is missed in the post.


All that we know is that a circle passes through the point (2,6);
but as you understand, there are infinitely many such circles.

"No center origin" is not English; we don't know what that is supposed to mean.

If the center IS the origin, then there is enough information to find the equation; if the center is NOT the origin, then we need to know what the center is.

Re-post with clear information.
