Find the equation of the circle that passes through the origin and has its center at (-3,-4).

If the center is at (-3, -4) and the origin is on the circle, then the radius of the circle is the distance between the origin and (-3, -4).R² = (-3)² + (-4)²R² =  9    +  16R² =      25R = 5The equation of the circle is [  (x + 3)² + (y + 4)² = 25 ].
