aravindg · Answer

simple u have got h and k as 6 and 2 ,radius is 4

aravindg · Answer

so centre will be (-6,-2) and radius =4

dumbcow · Answer

(h,k) is center of circle
equation is (x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2 = r^2

dumbcow · Answer

find center, then take radius which is 4 and plot four points around the center
count 4 up, 4 down, 4 to right, 4 to left
draw circle connecting all four points around center
