Find the center , radius, intercepts, and graph the circle.
--------
Complete the square on the x and on the y terms:
-----------
x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 14y = -29
(x^2 - 8x + 16)) + (y^2 + 14y + 49) = -29 + 16 + 49
-----
Factor:
(x-4)^2 + (y+7)^2 = 36
------
Center: (4,-7)
Radius: sqrt(36) = 6
Intercepts:
x-intercepts: Let y = 0, then (x-4)^2 + 49 = 36 ;
then (x-4)^2 = -13
Therefore: no x-intercepts
-------------------
y-intercepts: let x = 0, then (-4)^2 + (y+7)^2 = 36,
then (y+7)^2 = 20
then y+7 = 2sqrt(5) or y+7 = -2sqrt(5)
y = -7+2sqrt(5) or y = -7-2sqrt(5)
