STEP 1
Plug the center coordinate (h, k) and the point that the circle passes through into the center-radius form
of the equation of a circle, or in  . This will give you the value of the radius, squared, or 
STEP 2
Plug the center coordinate, and into the center-radius form of the equation of a circle and you will have the
equation of a circle, in center-radius form.
It's a s simple as that!!
You then do a check!!
If you need a complete and detailed solution, let me know!!
