Answer:

(x - 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the center is at (h, k) :  (2, -5), then the general form of the equation of this circle is

(x - 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = r^2, and we must find r^2.

We know that (3, -3) is a point on the circle.  Substitute 3 for x and -3 for y in the above equation to find r^2:

(3 - 2)^2 + (-3 + 5)^2 = r^2, or

     1^2    +    2^2      = r^2

Then r^2 = 5, and the desired equation is

(x - 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 5   or  (√5)^2
