Question
**Title: Determine the Equation of the Circle Graphed Below**

**Instructions:**
To find the equation of the circle, follow these steps:

1. **Identify the center of the circle (h, k):**
   - The center of the circle is the point where the circle is perfectly centered. 
   - From the graph, the center (-3, -5) is indicated clearly.

2. **Determine the radius r:**
   - The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circle. 
   - One point on the circle shown in the graph is (-1, -2).
   - Use the distance formula to calculate the radius:
     \[
     r = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
     \]
     Where \((x_1, y_1) = (-3, -5)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (-1, -2)\):
     \[
     r = \sqrt{(-1 - (-3))^2 + (-2 - (-5))^2} = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (3)^2} = \sqrt{13}
     \]

3. **Form the equation of the circle:**
   - The standard form for the equation of a circle is:
     \[
     (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
     \]
   - Plug in the values for \(h\), \(k\), and \(r\):
     \[
     (x + 3)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 13
     \]
   
**Graph Description:**

- **Axes:**
  - The x-axis and y-axis range from -12 to 12.
  - The origin (0,0) is clearly marked.

- **Grid:** 
  - The graph is overlaid with a grid pattern for precise plotting.

- **Circle:**
  - A circle is drawn with the center at \((-3, -5)\).
  - The circumference of the circle passes through the point \((-1, -2)\).
  
By following these steps, you can determine that the equation of the circle graphed is:
\[
(x + 3)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 13
\]
