Find the coordinates of the centre of the circle 3x\(^2\) + 3y\(^2\) - 6x + 9y - 5 = 0
(-3. \(\frac{9}{2}\))
(-1. \(\frac{3}{2}\))
(1, - \(\frac{3}{2}\))
(3. -\(\frac{9}{2}\))

Explanation

\(\frac{3x^2}{3} + \frac{3y^2}{3} - \frac{6x}{3} + \frac{9y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}\) = 0

2gx = -2x, 2 fy = 3y 

g = -1, f = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Centre (1, - \(\frac{3}{2}\))
