Write the center and the radius of this circle: x^2 + y^2 + 8x - 2y -15 = 0
Thanks!!! xoxo

x^2 + y^2 + 8x - 2y -15 = 0
x^2 + y^2 + 8x - 2y =15
(x^2 + 8x) + (y^2 - 2y) =15
complete the sqaure for x terms with (b/2)^2 = (8/2)^2 = 16
complete the square for y terms with (b/20^2 = (2/2)^2 = 1^2 = 1
(x^2 + 8x + 16) + (y^2 - 2y + 1) = 15 + 16 + 1
(x + 4)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 32
center (- 4,1) with radius of sqrt(32) = 4sqrt(2)
x^2 + y^2 + 8x - 2y =15
(x^2 + 8x) + (y^2 - 2y) =15
