Decide whether or not the equation has a circle in its graph. If it does , give the center and the radius. If it does not, describe the graph.
x^2+y^2+10x+4y+25=0
**
x^2+y^2+10x+4y+25=0
complete the square
(x^2+10x+25)+y^2=-25+25=0
(x+5)^2+y^2=0
Technically, this is a circle with center at (-5,0) with radius=0
With zero radius, circle does not exist.
