the center of the circle =  (-1, 1)

 

the radius of the circle  =  \(\sqrt{(-1-1)^2+(1-2)^2}\,=\,\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-1)^2}\,=\,\sqrt{4+1}\,=\,\sqrt5\)

 

So the equation of the circle is...

 

\((x--1)^2+(y-1)^2\,=\,\sqrt5^2 \\~\\ (x+1)^2+(y-1)^2\,=\,5 \\~\\ (x+1)(x+1)+(y-1)(y-1)\,=\,5 \\~\\ x^2+2x+1+y^2-2y+1\,=\,5 \\~\\ x^2+2x+y^2-2y+2\,=\,5 \\~\\ x^2+2x+y^2-2y-3\,=\,0 \\~\\ x^2+y^2+2x-2y-3\,=\,0 \)


A + B + C + D   =   1 + 2 - 2 - 3   =   -2

 

Here's a graph to check the equation of the circle:
