I will try my best to break it down
well, first you would need to set the equation equal to zero.
Like this, x^2 + 4x + y^2 - 10y - 7 = 0
next, you would set the x and y squared would go in parenthesis like so,
(x + )^2 + (y - )^2 = ?
then you would divide 4 and 10 by a common factor of 2. And plug them in the equation like so, (x + 2)^2 + (y - 5)^2 =?
And do get what it's equal to, you would do 3^2, which would be 9, but then multiply it by 4, to get 36 and then you would have your equation.
(x + 2)^2 + (y - 5)^2 + 36
