Rewrite the equation in standard form. Find the center or vertex. Identify the conic and sketch the curve.x2 + y2 + 2x + 12y - 12 = 0
A. circle; center (-1, -6);
(x - 1)2 + (y - 6)2 = 49
B. circle; center (1, 6);
(x + 1)2 + (y + 6)2 = 49
C. circle; center (-1, -6);
(x + 1)2 + (y + 6)2 = 49
D. circle; center (1, 6);
(x - 1)2 + (y - 6)2 = 49
