Answer

$(x+1)^2+(y-3)^2=1$

Work Step by Step

The equation of a circle is: $$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\tag1$$ a) We complete the squares in the given equation: $$\begin{align*} x^2+y^2+2x-6y+9&=0\\ (x^2+2x+1)+(y^2-6y+9)-1&=0\\ (x+1)^2+(y-3)^2&=1. \end{align*}$$ The equation $$(x+1)^2+(y-3)^2=1\tag2$$ is in the form presented in Eq. $(1)$, therefore it represents a circle. b) We determine the coordinates $(h,k)$ of the center and the radius $r$: $$\begin{align*} h&=-1\\ k&=3\\ r&=1. \end{align*}$$ Use the center and the radius to graph the circle:
