Question 159613: Center radius formula for the equation of a circle
x^2+y^2+2x-10y-24=0
I am confused as to where to start. I would imagine that you have to get it into an equation form so you can factor it out.
I need the final
Center Radius:
Center:
Radius:
thank you! :)

x%5E2%2By%5E2%2B2x-10y-24=0
%28x%2B1%29%5E2%2B%28y-5%29%5E2-50=0
%28x%2B1%29%5E2%2B%28y-5%29%5E2=50
then
center = (-1,5)
radius = sqrt%2850%29
