Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Center of circle is at (6, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The equation of circle is \(x^2+y^2-12x+6y-19=0\)

We have to find the center of given circle and choose from the given options.

The standard equation of circle with center (h,k) and radius r is written as  

\((x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\)

Consider the given equation \(x^2+y^2-12x+6y-19=0\)

Adding 19 both side, we have,

\(x^2-12x+y^2+6y=19\)

Group x and y terms together, we have,

\(\left(x^2-12x\right)+\left(y^2+6y\right)=19\)

Add both side 36 to make x a perfect square term,

\(\left(x^2-12x+36\right)+\left(y^2+6y\right)=19+36\)

Using identity \((a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab\), we have,

\(\left(x-6\right)^2+\left(y^2+6y\right)=19+36\)

Similarly, for y , adding 9 both side,

\(\left(x-6\right)^2+\left(y^2+6y+9\right)=19+36+9\)

\(\left(x-6\right)^2+\left(y+3\right)^2=64\)

rewriting in standard form , we have,

\(\left(x-6\right)^2+\left(y-\left(-3\right)\right)^2=8^2\)

Thus, Center of circle is at (6, -3)

Option (c) is correct.
