Answer:
- center: (-2, 5)
- radius: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
We can complete the squares of the x- and y-terms by adding the square of half the linear term coefficient.
(x^2 +4x) +(y^2 -10y) = 7
(x^2 +4x +4) +(y^2 -10x +25) = 7 + 4 + 25
(x +2)^2 +(y -5)^2 = 6^2
Compare to ...
(x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2 . . . . . standard form equation of a circle
We see that the center is ...
(h, k) = (-2, 5)
and the radius is ...
r = 6
