You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2-2y^2 = -8 , graph it
-------------
Solve for x or y
x is easier, has a coefficient of 1
x+=+sqrt%282y%5E2+-+8%29
Pick values for y, find x. Notice y is + or minus --> same x
Plot the points
Draw a curve thru them
--------------
Use Excel to make a table of points.
Or,
dl the FREE graph software at
http://www.padowan.dk
Use that to make a table, or use F6 and enter x^2-2y^2 = -8 for the graph.
Pick a color and line width
