Solutions:
The equation of the circle is \( (x-0)^2+(y-0)^2 = 16\) where the center of the circle is \((0,0)\) and the radius of 4 squared is 16.
One point is at \((-1, d)\) . Substituting \(-1\) in for \(x\), the equation is
\(\begin{align}(-1)^2+d^2 &= 16 \\\\ d^2 &= 15 \\\\ d &=\pm \sqrt{15}\end{align}\)
The point is \((-1,\sqrt{15})\) or \((-1,-\sqrt{15})\).
