So, we know the center is at -3,-1, ok
hmmm what's the radius anyway? well, we know that there's a point at 1,2 that is on the circle's path...hmmmm what's the distance from the center to that point? well, is the radius, let's check then.

so, what's the equation of a circle with center at -3, -1 and a radius of 5?
