The graph is symmetrical with respect to the y-axis x=0 because if (x,y) belongs to the graph,
because y%5E2=x%5E2%2B6 , then
(-x,y) belongs to the graph,
because %28-x%29%5E2%2B6=x%5E2%2B6=y%5E2 .

The graph is symmetrical with respect to the x-axis y=0 because if (x,y) belongs to the graph,
because y%5E2=x%5E2%2B6 , then
(x,-y) belongs to the graph,
because %28-y%29%5E2=y%5E2=x%5E2%2B6 .

The graph is symmetrical with respect to point (0,0), the origin,
because if (x,y) belongs to the graph,
because y%5E2=x%5E2%2B6 , then
(-x,-y) belongs to the graph,
because %28-y%29%5E2=y%5E2=x%5E2%2B6=%28-x%29%5E2%2B6 .
