Answer

A circle, centered at $(7,-3)$, with radius $1.$

Work Step by Step

$2x^{2}+2y^{2}-28x+12y=-114\qquad $ Divide with 2 and group like terms: $(x^{2}-14x)+(y^{2}+6y)=-57\qquad$ Complete the square: $(x^{2}-14x+49)+(y^{2}+6y+9)=-57+49+9$ $(x-7)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=1$ This equation is of a circle, centered at $(7,-3)$, with radius $1.$
