Explanation:

When plotting a point, the numbers in the brackets follow the following pattern:

$(x, y)$ $(x,y)$

and so the first number is the value of the $x$ $x$ axis and the second value is the $y$ $y$ axis. In this case, we can start at the origin, move 3 points to the left along the $x$ $x$ axis to $- 3$ $-3$ , and then, since the $y$ $y$ value is 0, we don't need to move any further (had it been, for example, 2, we'd move up 2 parallel to the $y$ $y$ axis.

I'll show you both on two separate graphs.

Here's $(- 3, 0)$ $(-3,0)$

graph{(x+3)^2+(y+0)^2-.1=0}

And here's $(- 3, 2)$ $(-3,2)$

graph{(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2-.1=0}
