You can put this solution on YOUR website!
equation of circle with centre (h,k) and radius r is ( x -h)^2 +(y-k)^2= r^2.
here centre (h,k) = (3, -1) , r =5.
substituting these values in the equation we get,
(x - 3)^2 + (y - (-1))^2 = 5^2
(x-3)^2 + ( y + 1)^2 = 25
x^2 -6x +9 + y^2 + 2y + 1 =25
x^2 + y^2 - 6x +2y+ 9+1 - 25 =0
x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 2y -15 = 0
