Answer

Circle with equation $x^2+z^2=9$, in plane $y=-4$.

Work Step by Step

Here, the the two equations represent the intersection between the equation of a sphere $x^2+y^2+z^2=25$ and the plane $y=-4$. Now, $x^2+(-4)^2+z^2=25 \implies x^2+z^2=25-16$ or, $x^2+z^2=9$ The set of points that satisfies the equation $x^2+z^2=9$ is a circle lying in the plane $y=-4$, centered at (0,-4,0), having a circle of radius $3$ .
