In this problem how can i find the center and radius of a circle x^2 + y^2 + 14x + 24 = 0

Polygon mnopq is dilated by a scale factor of 0.8 with the origin as the center of dilation, resulting in the image m′n′o′p′q′. the coordinates of point m are (2, 4), and the coordinates of point n are (3, 5). the slope of is .

Girardo is using the model below to solve the equation . girardo uses the following steps: step 1 add 4 negative x-tiles to both sides step 2 add 1 negative unit tile to both sides step 3 the solution is which step could be adjusted so that gerardo's final step results in a positive x-value? in step 1, he should have added 4 positive x-tiles to both sides. in step 1, he should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 4 negative unit tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 1 positive unit tile to both sides.

We just started the introduction into circles and i have no idea how to do this.
