Answer:

(x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = 4

Explanation:

The equation formula of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where the center is at ordered pair (h, k) and r represents the radius in units.

With the information given in the question itself, we plug and play, simplifying if need be:
center (7, 3), h = 7, k = 3
radius = 2

(x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = (2)²
(x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = 4

The equation of this circle is (x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = 4
