What do they mean by center at the origin

Are the equations supposed to be part of the assignment? In either case, those are incomplete questions.

It seems like its asking you write equation of a circle, if you know that equation of a circle with radius r, whose center is (a,b) can be expressed as following:
$$ (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2$$

Center being at the origin means, (a,b) = (0,0).

And reminder that a point of the circle will in fact satisfy the equation (not talking of the center, im talking about A POINT which circle crosses.)
