Answer

Center of circle is $\left( -3,-2 \right)$ and radius is $r=1$

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 ${{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+6x+4y=-12$ (equation - 2) Now add $9$ and $4$ on both the sides of equation $\left( 2 \right)$ to complete the square twice. $\begin{align} & {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+6x+4y+9+4=-12+9+4 \\ & \left( {{x}^{2}}+6x+9 \right)+\left( {{y}^{2}}+4y+4 \right)=1 \\ & {{\left( x+3 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( y+2 \right)}^{2}}={{\left( 1 \right)}^{2}} \end{align}$ Now compare the (equation – 1) with the equation ${{\left( x+3 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( y+2 \right)}^{2}}={{\left( 1 \right)}^{2}}$. Center coordinate of circle is $\left( h=-3,k=-2 \right)$. And radius of circle is $r=1$. To graph, we plot the points $\left( -3,-1 \right)$, $\left( -3,-3 \right)$, $\left( -4,-2 \right)$, and $\left( -2,-2 \right)$ which are, respectively, $1$ unit above, below, left and right of $\left( -3,-2 \right)$.
