A. (-4,-3)
B. (3,4)
C. (6,8)
D. (7,7)
E. (9,8)
How do you do this?

The distance of (4,3) from (0,0) is 5. So, the circle is
(x-4)^2 + (y-3)^2 = = 25
Now, you know that if the center were at (0,0), (±3,±4) and (±4,±3) would lie on the circle.
So, shift those possibilities right and up, and see what drops out.
(7-4)^2 + (7,3)^2 = 3^2+4^2 = 25
(x-4)^2 + (y-3)^2 = = 25

Wait, why did you use Pythagoreon theorom for a circle above in your explanation? I don't understand why you do that.
