Find Center and Radius of Circle

[mathdad]

Determine the center and the radius of circle.

x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 2y + 17 = 0

Can this be done using completing the square?

Yes! Write the equation in the form $(x^2 - 10x +\ ?) + (y^2 + 2y +\ ?) =\ ?$ (choosing the queries so as to complete the squares), and you should be able to read off the answer.

I got it.
