The radius of the circle is 4 units.

Given to us:

[tex]x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 6y + 18 = 0[/tex]

The generalized format for radius of a circle is given by:

[tex]\\(x - h)^2 + (x - k)^2 = a^2\\where,\\h, k= coordinate\ of\ the\ center\ of\ the\ circle\\a= radius\ of\ the\ circle[/tex]

therefore after rearrangement of the equation we get,

[tex]x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 6y + 18 = 0,\\x^2 - 10x + y^2 + 6y =- 18,\\[/tex]

adding 25 and 9 on both the sides to bring it in the generalized format for radius of a circle,we get

[tex]x^2 - 10x+25 + y^2+ 6y+9 =-18+25+9,\\[/tex]

[tex](x - 5)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 16\\(x - 5)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 4^2\\[/tex]

Hence, the coordinate for this circle are x=5 and y=-3. And the radius of the circle is 4 units.
