Coordinates of the centre of the circle are (3,-4) and circle's radius is sqrt10.

Explanation:

Perhaps you mean the equation to be (x-3)^2+(y+4)^2=10

As (x-3)^2+(y+4)^2=10 is equivalent to

(x-3)^2+(y-(-4))^2=(sqrt10)^2

or sqrt((x-3)^2+(y-(-4))^2)=sqrt10

The Left hand side shows that the distance of (x,y) from point (3,-4)

and as the equation indicates that this is always sqrt10

Equation (x-3)^2+(y+4)^2=10 indicates that (x,y) is always at a distance of sqrt10 from (3,-4).

Hence, coordinates of the centre of the circle are (3,-4) and circle's radius is sqrt10.
