This looks like the equation for a circle
Explanation:
A circle of radius 3 and center located at x = 4 and y = -12 obeys the above equation, which you can write in Cartesian coordinates (x,y) or polar coordinates, r, theta. In which case you want to make a change of coordinates centered on the (4,-12) center of the circle in which case the equation is imply r = 3
