The center is (-3, 0) and the radius is 3. To obtain this info, read on the general equation for a circle in the xy-plane.

Then just draw a circle of radius 3 centered at (-3, 0).

It has a center at (-3,0) and a radius of 3 comparing to the general form of a circle centered at (h,k) with radius R.
