The correct answer is: $3\left(x^2+y^2\right)+4(x+y)-3=0$
Let circle be $x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0$. Then according to the conditions given,
$g+2 f=c+3...(i)$
$\begin{aligned}& 2 g+4 f=c+5 ...(ii)\\& -7 g-8 f=c-9 ...(iii)\\& \Rightarrow g=\frac{2}{3}, f=\frac{2}{3}, c=-1\end{aligned}$
Therefore, the required equation is
$3\left(x^2+y^2\right)+4(x+y)-3=0$
