    (-7, - 1), 6 units

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x² + y² + 14x + 2y + 14 = 0

    x² + 14x + y² + 2y = - 14

    Complete the squares.

    x² + 14x + 49 + y² + 2y + 1 = - 14 + 49 + 1

    (x + 7) ² + (y + 1) ² = 36

    (x + 7) ² + (y + 1) ² = 6²

    The center is at (-7, - 1) and the radius is 6.
