You can put this solution on YOUR website! Make a table of x,y point values and pick several for one coordinate and calculate the corresponding coordinate. Now plot the ordered pair points.
x values will only be between -4 and +4, and y values will only be between -2 and +2. Try using other values and see what happens.

The figure is the ellipse with the center at the origin of the coordinate system.
Its major horizontal semi-axis is of 4 units long.
Its major vertical semi-axis is of 2 units long.
The ellipse is more wide than tall.

The very, very, very first thing you need to do when GRAPHING an equation is to DETERMINE the type of graph that the equation REPRESENTS.
You might not be able to graph any equation, unless of course you're using a graphing calculator or an online site that can graph the
equation for you. Doing it manually though, I already told you the 1st thing you need to do.
Hint: The fact that the 2nd degree variables have same-sign (+) but different coefficients (1 and 4) on them, means that this equation represents an ELLIPSE.
You need to now research how to go about manually graphing an ELLIPSE.
