I think you’re pretty much on the right track smiley

 

Assuming:   x2+y26x+py+q=0

 

x2+y26x+py+q=0
                                                    Subtract  q  from both sides of the equation
x2+y26x+py=q
                                                    Rearrange the terms on the left side of the equation.
x26x+y2+py=q
                                                                                          Add  9  and add  (p2)2  to both sides of the equation.

x26x+9+y2+py+(p2)2=q+9+(p2)2
                                                                                           Factor both perfect square trinomials on the left side.
(x3)2+(y+p2)2=q+9+(p2)2

 

Now we can see that the center of the circle is the point  (3, -p2)

 

Because the circle is tangent to the y-axis,

 

radius  =  distance between center and y-axis

radius  =  distance between  (3, -p2)  and  (0, -p2)

radius  =  3

 

area  =  π · radius2

area  =  π · 32

area  =  9π     sq. units

 

You can play around with the sliders on this graph to check:

Notice that the distance between the center and the y-axis stays  3 .
