You can  put this solution on YOUR website! center and radius of x^2 +y^2-18x+8y+81=0 please
 
Complete the square on the x-terms and on the y-terms: 
-------- 
x^2-18x+81 + y^2+8y+16 = -81+81+16 
-------------------------------------- 
(x-9)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 16 
---- 
Center at (9,-4) 
Radius = sqrt(16) = 4
