Solution

2 2
Circle center given x + y + 8x − 6y + 4 = 0: ( −4, 3 )
Steps
2 2
x + y + 8x − 6y + 4 = 0

Circle Equation

( x−a ) 2 + ( y−b ) 2 = r2 is the circle equation with a radius r, centered at ( a, b )

2 2 Hide Steps
Rewrite x + y + 8x − 6y + 4 = 0 in the form of the standard circle equation

2 2
x + y + 8x − 6y + 4 = 0

Move the loose number to the right side

2 2
x + 8x + y − 6y = −4

Group x − variables and y − variables together

( x2 + 8x ) + ( y2 − 6y ) = −4
Convert x to square form

( x2 + 8x + 16 ) + ( y2 − 6y ) = −4 + 16
Convert to square form

( x + 4 ) 2 + ( y2 − 6y ) = −4 + 16

Convert y to square form

( x + 4 ) 2 + ( y2 − 6y + 9 ) = −4 + 16 + 9

Convert to square form

( x + 4 ) 2 + ( y − 3 ) 2 = −4 + 16 + 9

Re ne − 4 + 16 + 9

( x + 4 ) 2 + ( y − 3 ) 2 = 21

Rewrite in standard form

( x − ( −4 ) ) 2 + ( y − 3 ) 2 = ( √ 21 ) 2

( x − ( −4 ) ) 2 + ( y − 3 ) 2 = ( √ 21 ) 2

Therefore the circle properties are:

( a, b ) = ( −4, 3 ) , r = √ 21

And the center is:

( −4, 3 )
