Question 1020736: What is the equation of the circle passing through the point (6,5) and centered at (3,-4)?
What are the coordinates of the center of a circle whose equation is x2 + y2 – 16x + 6y + 53 = 0?
Which ordered pair is in the solution set of the system of equations shown below?
y2 – x2 + 32 = 0
3y – x = 0

Three different questions. I will help with just the second question.

This way in pure text:
x^2+y^2–16x+6y+53=0

-----in case not fully rendering, x^2+y^2-16x+6y+53=0

Choose correct terms to complete the squares as/if necessary.



-
Center point of the circle is (8,-3).


How to complete the square is described and discussed here:
