The best way to do this one is to write everything in terms of y and then plug it into a graphing calculator. But the other by hand method would be factoring the formula given. Hope I helped.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really you have to first write at \[x^2-6x+y^2-18y=-26\] and then complete the square twice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forget the graphing calculator or any calculator do you know how to complete the square ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 I think using b/2 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah you have to do it twice \[(x-3)^2+(y-9)^2=-26+9+81\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or \[(x-3)^2+(y-9)^2=64\] making the center \((3,9)\) and the radius \(\sqrt{64}=8\)
