Answer

Equation of a circle with center $\left( 3,0 \right)$ and radius $5$ is ${{\left( x-3 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( y \right)}^{2}}=25$

Work Step by Step

First, we use the mid-point formula to find the center of the circle. $\begin{align} & \left( \frac{7+\left( -1 \right)}{2},\frac{3+\left( -3 \right)}{2} \right) \\ & \left( \frac{6}{2},\frac{0}{2} \right) \\ \end{align}$ Center of circle $\left( 3,0 \right)$. The radius is the distance between end point and center $\left( 7,3 \right)$ and $\left( 3,0 \right)$.
