A circle is defined as all the points which have a fixed distance to the circle's midpoint. Hence, a point (x,y) lies on our circle if and only if its distance to the point (1,3) is exactly 2. Using the distance formula, we can express this condition as

After squaring, we obtain the equation of the circle in standard form,
