Find the coordinates of the centre of the circle with equation: x^2 + y^2 − 2*x + 14*y = 0

method: complete the squares for (x^2 - 2 x ) and ( y^2 + 14 y ) using the formula (b/2)^2 (where the general equation is a x^2 + b x) so that the equation becomes a x^2 + b x + (b/2)^2first, rearrange the o...
