Answer

Center of circle is $\left( -5,1 \right)$ and radius is $r=\sqrt{15}$

Work Step by Step

Standard equation of the circle is: ${{\left( x-h \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( y-k \right)}^{2}}={{r}^{2}}$ (equation - 1) And equation of circle is, ${{\left( x+5 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( y-1 \right)}^{2}}=15$ (equation - 2) Now compare both the equations, $\begin{align} & {{\left( x+5 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( y-1 \right)}^{2}}=15 \\ & {{\left( x-\left( -5 \right) \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( y-\left( 1 \right) \right)}^{2}}=\sqrt{15} \\ \end{align}$ Center coordinate of circle is $\left( h=-5,k=1 \right)$. And radius of circle is $r=\sqrt{15}$. To graph, we plot the points$\left( -5,4.873 \right)$,$\left( -5,-2.873 \right)$,$\left( -8.9,1 \right)$and $\left( -1.1,1 \right)$ which are, respectively, $\sqrt{15}$ units above, below, left and right of $\left( -5,1 \right)$.
