Question 498955: Can you show me how to solve: It says: Determine whether the graph of the equation is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, the y-axis, and/or the origin.
4x^2 + 9y^2 = 36 Thanks much!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Just substitute -x for x and see if it is unchanged.
Yes, is same so symmetrix about y axis.
-y for y same story so symmetric about x axis.
Both at same time: yes, so symmetric about origin.
