Answer:

upper left

Explanation:

The generic equation for a circle centered at (h, k) with radius r is ...

(x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

Comparing that equation to the one you have, you can see that ...

-h = 0

-k = +3

r^2 = 9

Then you have (h, k) = (0, -3) and a radius of 3.

The circle has its center on the y-axis 3 units below the x-axis and just touches the x-axis. This is a description of the graph at upper left.
