    Of course its a circle, Joe. The x² and y² coefficents are equal.

    x² + y² - 10x + 2y + 25 = 0

    (x² - 10x + 25) + (y² + 2y + 1) - 1 = 0

    (x-5)² + (y+1)² = 1

    Center: (x,y) = (5,-1)

    Radius: 1

    X*2+Y*2-10X+2Y+25=0

    you need to get in the format (x+a)^2 + (y+b)^2 = c

    a and b can be ant number; c must be positive

    regroup

    (x^2 -10x + 25) + (y^2 + 2y) = 0

    add 1 to each side to complete the square

    (x^2 -10x +25) + (y^2 +2y +1) = 1

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

    center = 5, -1

    you get that by solving (x-5) = 0

    x = 5

    (y+1) = 0

    y = -1

    radius = sqrt of the c term

    radius =sqrt(c) = sqrt(1)

    r = 1

    x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 2y + 25 = 0

    Comparing with the general equation of circle

    2g = - 10

    g = -5

    -g = 5

    2f = 2

    f = 1

    -f = -1

    Centre of circle is at ( 5 , -1 )

    Radius = √ (g^2 + f^2 - c )

    = √ 25 + 1 - 25 = 1 unit

    Radius = 1 unit

    (x - 5)^2 - 25 + (y + 1)^2 - 1 + 25 = 0

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

    Center: (5, -1)

    Radius: 1

    (x² - 10x) + (y² + 2y) = - 25

    (x² - 10x + 25) + (y² + 2y + 1) = - 25 + 26

    (x - 5)² + (y + 1)² = 1

    C (5 , - 1) , r = 1

    Let us consider the general form of the equation

    x2+y2+2gx+2hy+c=0.

    Compare it with given equation.

    Centre=(g,h).

    Rad=(g2+h2-c)^1/2
