How would I rewrite the conic sections by completing the square? X^2-6x+y^2+14y-62=0

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Group terms and then move the number to the other side

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

First of all, do you know what conic this is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is good for an overview

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Thankyou

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so now I have x^2-6x+y^2+14y=62

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Yup, so now complete the square

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

@OffnenStudieren will help you from here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm, one second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x ^{2}-6x+y^{2}+14y=62\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats what I got but I don't know how to complete the square though
