Answer:

Explanation:

(x-6)² + y²-8y = 0

Put the equation into center-radius form.

complete the square

 coefficient of the y term: -8

 divide it in half: -4

 square it: (-4)² = 4²

 add 4² to both sides to complete the square and keep the equation balanced:

(x-6)² + (y²-8y+4²) = 4²

(x-6)² + ( y-4)² = 4²

center (6,4)

radius 4
