Answer

The equation represents a circle $ (x-2)^2+(y^2+5)^2=4^2$ with center $(2,-5)$ and radius is $4$

Work Step by Step

$\underline{\textbf{Given equation}}$ $x^2+y^2-4x+10y+13=0$ $\Rightarrow x^2+y^2-4x+10y=-13$ $\Rightarrow x^2-4x+y^2+10y=-13$ $\Rightarrow (x^2-4x)+(y^2+10y)=-13$ $\Rightarrow (x^2-4x+4)+(y^2+10y+25)=-13+4+25$ $\Rightarrow (x-2)^2+(y^2+5)^2=16$ $\Rightarrow (x-2)^2+(y^2+5)^2=4^2$ Which is the standard form for the equation of circle with center $(2,-5)$ and radius is $4$
