Write in Standard Form x^2+y^2-8y-4=-16

$x^{2} + y^{2} - 8 y - 4 = - 16$

Move all terms not containing a variable to the right side of the equation.

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

$x^{2} + y^{2} - 8 y = - 16 + 4$

Add $- 16$ and $4$ .

$x^{2} + y^{2} - 8 y = - 12$

Complete the square for $y^{2} - 8 y$ .

Use the form $a x^{2} + b x + c$ , to find the values of $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ .

$a = 1$

$b = - 8$

$c = 0$

Consider the vertex form of a parabola.

$a {(x + d)}^{2} + e$

Find the value of $d$ using the formula $d = \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

Substitute the values of $a$ and $b$ into the formula $d = \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

$d = \frac{- 8}{2 \cdot 1}$

Cancel the common factor of $- 8$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 8$ .

$d = \frac{2 \cdot - 4}{2 \cdot 1}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot 1$ .

$d = \frac{2 \cdot - 4}{2 (1)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$d = \frac{2 \cdot - 4}{2 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite the expression.

$d = \frac{- 4}{1}$

Divide $- 4$ by $1$ .

$d = - 4$

Find the value of $e$ using the formula $e = c - \frac{b^{2}}{4 a}$ .

Substitute the values of $c$ , $b$ and $a$ into the formula $e = c - \frac{b^{2}}{4 a}$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{{(- 8)}^{2}}{4 \cdot 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Raise $- 8$ to the power of $2$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{64}{4 \cdot 1}$

Multiply $4$ by $1$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{64}{4}$

Divide $64$ by $4$ .

$e = 0 - 1 \cdot 16$

Multiply $- 1$ by $16$ .

$e = 0 - 16$

Subtract $16$ from $0$ .

$e = - 16$

Substitute the values of $a$ , $d$ , and $e$ into the vertex form ${(y - 4)}^{2} - 16$ .

${(y - 4)}^{2} - 16$

Substitute ${(y - 4)}^{2} - 16$ for $y^{2} - 8 y$ in the equation $x^{2} + y^{2} - 8 y = - 12$ .

$x^{2} + {(y - 4)}^{2} - 16 = - 12$

Move $- 16$ to the right side of the equation by adding $16$ to both sides.

$x^{2} + {(y - 4)}^{2} = - 12 + 16$

Add $- 12$ and $16$ .

$x^{2} + {(y - 4)}^{2} = 4$

Write in Standard Form x^2+y^2-8y-4=-16
