Answer

The equation represents a circle $ (x+\frac{1}{2})^2+(y^2+0)^2=(\frac{1}{2})^2$ with center $(-\frac{1}{2},0)$ and radius is $\frac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

$\underline{\textbf{Given equation}}$ $x^2+y^2+x=0$ $\Rightarrow x^2+x+y^2=0$ $\Rightarrow (x^2+x)+(y^2)=0$ $\Rightarrow (x^2+x+\frac{1}{4})+(y^2)=\frac{1}{4}$ $\Rightarrow (x+\frac{1}{2})^2+(y^2+0)^2=(\frac{1}{2})^2$ Which is the standard form for the equation of circle with center $(-\frac{1}{2},0)$ and radius is $\frac{1}{2}$
