As we learnt in

General form of a circle -

x^{2}+y^{2}+2gx+2fy+c= 0
 

- wherein

centre = \left ( -g,-f \right )

radius = \sqrt{g^{2}+f^{2}-c}

 

 

Mid-point formula -

x= \frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}

y= \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}

 

- wherein

If the point P(x,y) is the mid point of line joining A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) .

 x^{2}+y^{2}+2x+4y-3=0

Centre is (-1, -2) 

\frac{x+1}{2}=-1\:;\:\:\frac{y+0}{2}=-2

x=-3\:;\:\:\y=-4
