Please read the explanation.

Explanation:

#" "#
Construct the circle with Radius #="6 Units"#and #"Center at (-3,0)"#

enter image source here

The Distance (D) between the points #P# and #"Center"# at #(=3,0)# is #"5 Units"#.

It is evident that, if the distance D is less than 5, then the point will lie inside the circle.

If the distance D is greater than 5, then the point will lie outside the circle.

Hope it helps.
