The center is at #(-1, -3)#

From the given equation #(x+1)^2+(y+3)^2=9/4#

this is comparable already to the Center-Radius form of the equation of the circle

#(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2# and we can adjust the given as follows

#(x+1)^2+(y+3)^2=9/4#

#(x--1)^2+(y--3)^2=(3/2)^2#

and clearly, the center is at #(-1, -3)#

God bless.....I hope the explanation is useful.
