Question

Please someone help me!!!! SHOW ALL WORK! ive been stuck on this question for 2 days!! :((((((

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + y² − 8x + 10y − 8 = 0

Rearrange:

x² − 8x + y² + 10y = 8

To complete the square, take half of the x and y coefficients, square it, then add the result to both sides.

(-8/2)² = 16

(10/2)² = 25

x² − 8x + 16 + y² + 10y + 25 = 8 + 16 + 25

x² − 8x + 16 + y² + 10y + 25 = 49

Factor the squares:

(x − 4)² + (y + 5)² = 49

The center is (4, -5) and the radius is 7.
