Answer:

The center is ( -5, -10) and the radius = 6.

Explanation:

Convert the equation to standard form by completing the square;

x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 20y + 89 = 0

x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 20y = -89

x^2 - 10x + y^2 + 20y = -89 Completing the square:

(x + 5)^2 - 25 + (y + 10)^2 - 100 = -89

(x + 5)^2 + (y + 10)^2 = -89 + 125

(x + 5)^2 + (y + 10)^2 = 36

Comparing this to the standard form:

( x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

- we see that the center is ( -5, -10) and the radius = 6.
