given radius = 5

to find equation of circle we need point "h"

Observe that triangle OMC is right angle triangle

use paythagoren theorem

\\a^2=h^2+k^2\\5^2=3^2+k^2\\k=\pm4

equation of circle when k =4

\\(x-3)^2+(y-4)^2=5^2\\x^2-6x+9+y^2-8x+16=25\\x^2+y^2-6x-8y=0

 

equation of circle when k =-4

\\(x-3)^2+(y+4)^2=5^2\\x^2-6x+9+y^2+8x+16=25\\x^2+y^2-6x+8y=0
