You can  put this solution on YOUR website! find the center and the radius of the circle  
x^2+y^2+6y-27=0 
------------- 
Complete the square on the x-terms and the y-terms respectively: 
--------- 
[x^2] + [y^2+6y + ?] = 27+? 
(x-0)^2 + (y^2+6y+(6/2)^2) = 27 + 9 
(x-0)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 36 
Center at (0,-3) 
Radius= 6
