    x^2 + 2x + 1 -1 + y^2 - 4y + 2 - 2 = 5

    (x+1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 5 +2+1 = 8

    center = -1, 2

    radius = sqrt 8

    x^2 + 2x + y^2 - 4y = 5

    (x + 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 5 + 1 + 4 = 10

    (x + 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 10

    Using the TI-83 and graphing, the ans. is no.

    Formula for a circle at the center of a Cartesian plane is:

    x^2 + y^2 = r^2

    The center of the circle is ( 0,0) ordered pair on the graph.
