You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First you look for the line perpendicular to x=2+y and contains the point (3,0). Second, find the intersection point of these two lines. THAT intersection point is one radius length distance from the center point of (3,0). Use the distance formula to find this radius value.

I gave a good, precise procedure, or at least, description of what to do. DO YOU STILL NEED SOME STEPS?
