Answer:

Radus: 2, Center (3,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

You first move the constant to the right then reorder the terms: x^2+y^2-6x+8y=-21.

You then complete the square: x^-6x+9+y^2=-21+9

Then factor: (x-3)^2+y^2+8y=-12

Then complete the square for the other term:

(x-3)^2+y^2+8y+12=-12+16

Then factor: (x-3)^2+(y+4)^2=4

4 is the radius squared, so the radius must be 2.

The center is the opposite of the constant in the parenthesis so the center must be (3,-4)
