You can put this solution on YOUR website! Touching both axes gives you 4 possible circle choices.
The center of the circle could be at ( ,),(, ),(,) or (,).
The general equation of a circle is,
where ( , ) is the center and  is the radius.
So, one choice would be,
 with (,) as the center.
You can complete the other 3 choices similarly.

5) With radius 3 touching both axes
If we want the circle in the upper right of the graph the center is at:
(3,3)
General equation of a circle is
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^ = r^2
plugging in what we know:
(x-3)^2 + (y-3)^ = 3^2
or
(x-3)^2 + (y-3)^ = 9
