x%5E2-14x%2B10y%2B79=0
note that %2814%2F2%29%5E2=49 so use this to complete-the-square for the x terms.
x%5E2-14x%2B49%2B10y%2B79-49=0
%28x-7%29%5E2%2B10y%2B30=0
%28x-7%29%5E2=-10y-30
highlight%28-%28x-7%29%5E2=10%28y%2B3%29%29------------this is a convenient form which you probably want. Exactly what you need from this or the original equation, you should specify.
