Answer:

The center is (-7,-8) and the radius is sqrt (2/3)

Explanation:

( x + 7 )^ 2 + ( y + 8 ) ^2 = 4 /6

The equation of a circle can be written as

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

Rewriting

( x - -7 )^ 2 + ( y - -8 )^ 2 = (sqrt(2/3)^2

The center is (-7,-8) and the radius is sqrt (2/3)
