4x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+-+4y+-+36+=0
4x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+-+4y+-36%2B36=+36 add 36 to both sides of the equation
4x%5E2%2By%5E2-4y=36
4x%5E2+%2By%5E2-4y%2B4=36%2B4 add 4 to both sides of the equation
4%2Ax%5E2%2B%28y-2%29%5E2=40
%284x%5E2%29%2F40%2B%28y-2%29%5E2%2F40=1 divide both sides by 40
x%5E2%2F10%2B%28y-2%29%5E2%2F40=1
