Question
#### Determine the equation of the circle graphed below.

Below you will find a graph with a circle centered at the point (6, 3) and passing through the point (9, 4).

The graph is on a coordinate plane with marked axes (x and y), extending from -12 to 12 on both the x- and y-axes. The circle, in this case, has the following notable points:
- Center: (6, 3)
- A point on the circle: (9, 4)

Based on the standard equation of a circle, \((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\), where \((h, k)\) is the center of the circle and \(r\) is its radius.

Answer:
[Input Box]

To determine the radius, you can use the distance formula between the center and any given point on the circle:
\[ r = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]
Applying this formula with:
Center \((x_1, y_1) = (6, 3)\) 
Point on circle \((x_2, y_2) = (9, 4)\),

\[ r = \sqrt{(9 - 6)^2 + (4 - 3)^2} \]
\[ r = \sqrt{3^2 + 1^2} \]
\[ r = \sqrt{9 + 1} \]
\[ r = \sqrt{10} \]

Thus, the radius squared, \(r^2\), is 10.

Substitute \(h\), \(k\), and \(r^2\) into the standard equation:
\[ (x - 6)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 10 \]

Thus, the equation of the circle is:
\[ (x - 6)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 10 \]
