You can  put this solution on YOUR website! How do you graph the circle x squared + y squared + 4x + 6y - 3 = 0? 
------ 
Complete the square on the x-terms and on the y-terms: 
x^2 + 4x + 4 + y^2 + 6y +9 = 3+4+9 
------ 
Factor: 
(x+2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 16 
---- 
Sketch a circle with: 
center at (-2,-3) 
radius = sqrt(16) = 4
