Answer:
The Radius of the circle of center (-4, 3) is 2.
Radius = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the general form:
[tex]x^2+y^2+8x-6y+21=0[/tex]
Let's convert this to standard form:
[tex]x^2+y^2+8x-6y+21=0[/tex]
[tex]x^2+y^2+8x-6y=-21[/tex]
Group/organize [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] terms:
[tex]x^2+8x+y^2-6y=-21[/tex]
[tex](x^2+8x)+(y^2-6y)=-21[/tex]
Now, let's begin the process to complete the square in both parentheses.
[tex](x^2+8x+16)+(y^2-6y+9)=-21+16+9[/tex]
[tex](x+4)^2+(y-3)^2=4[/tex]
