The given equation is \mathrm{x^{2}+y^{2}+2 x-4 y+6=0 \quad \ldots . .(1)}

Putting \mathrm{x=x^{\prime}+\alpha \: and\: y=y^{\prime}+\beta\, in (1) we \: get x^{\prime 2}+y^{\prime 2}+x^{\prime}(2 \alpha+2)+y^{\prime}(2 \beta-4)+\left(\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}+2 \alpha-\right.4 \beta+6)=0}.
To eliminate linear term, we should have \mathrm{2 \alpha+2=0} and \mathrm{2 \beta-4=0}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow \alpha=-1\, and \, \beta=2}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow(\alpha, \beta) \equiv(-1,2)}
