Question 144888: What is the shape of the graph of the equation below?
((x-1)^2)/(3^2) + ((y+1)^2)/(2^2) = 1


A line
A parabola opening to the right
A hyperbola opening up and down
A circle
A hyperbola opening to the right and left
An ellipse
my first awnser was that it was a hyperbola opening to the right and left ... but it came out wrong. so i have no idea what it is!
