Question

Determine the center and radius of the following circle equation:

x ^2+y ^2 −18x+4y+60=0

Answer 1

Answer:Use the quadratic 'Complete the Square' method

Step-by-step explanation:#x^2 - 6x +y^2 - 4y = 12

Then take 1/2 of the 'b' term for both quadratic expressions, square those values and add them to both sides.

#x^2 -6x + 9 + y^2 - 4y + 4 = 12 + 9 + 4

(x - 3)^2 + (y -2)^2 = 25

Circle centered at (3,2) with radius = 5
