Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Standard Form of a Circle
The standard form of a circle's equation is given by (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius. This form allows for easy identification of the circle's center and radius by comparing it to the general equation.

Completing the Square
Completing the square is a method used to transform a quadratic equation into a perfect square trinomial. This technique is essential for rewriting the given equation of the circle in standard form, allowing us to identify the center and radius more easily.

Quadratic Terms
Quadratic terms are expressions that include variables raised to the second power, such as x² and y². In the context of a circle's equation, these terms represent the geometric properties of the circle, and understanding their role is crucial for manipulating the equation to find the center and radius.
