The triangle is evidently isosceles and, therefore, the median through C is the angle bisector of C.
The equation of the angle bisector is y = -x and the incenter 
I(a,a), where a is positive. 
 The equation of AC is y0=7(x+6), i.e., 7x+y+42=0  and the equation of AB is xy+6=0
The lengths of the perpendiculars from I to AB and AC are equal. Therefore,
7a+a+4250=aa+62
or a=92       (a>0)
 Therefore, the center is -92,92 and the radius is 32
Hence, the equation of the circle is
x+922+y922=92
 or  x2+y2+9x9y+36=0
