how do i solve and graph this parabola x2+y2+6x-8y=11?
It is not a parabola; it is a circle:
Complete the square on the x and on the y terms:
(x^2+6x+9) + (y^2-8y+16) = -11+9+16
(x+3)^2+ (y-4)^2= 14
Center at (-3,4); radius = sqrt(14)
======================================
how do i solve this y^2/4-x^2/25=1
Hyperbola with center at (0,0) ; opening up and down;
y-intercept at (0,2) and (0,-2)
======================================

how do i solve this equation 4x^2+y^2=16
Ellipse:
x^2/(1/4) + y^2/16 = 1
Center at (0,0); semi-major axis = 4 ; semi-minor axis = 1/2

x2%2By2%2B6x-8y=11 looks like a circle to me because it has a term in x%5E2
and a term in y%5E2, and both have the same coefficient
Adding 9%2B16=25to both sides you get
%28x2%2B6x%2B9%29%2B%28y2-8y%2B16%29=11%2B25 --> %28x%2B3%29%5E2%2B%28y-4%29%5E2=6%5E2
That is the equation of a circle centered at (-3, 4), with radius 6.
y%5E2%2F4-x%5E2%2F25=1 looks like a hyperbola.
It is centered on the origin and symmetrical with respect to both axes, but you can see that no point with y=0 could be on the graph. This curve hates the x-axis; it won't touch it.
The closer it will get to the x-axis is y%5E2%2F4=1 <-->y%5E2=4 when x=0, so vertices are (0,2) and (0,-2).
The lines y=%285%2F2%29x and y=-%285%2F2%29x are asymptotes.
4x2%2By2=16 is the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin. The ends of its axes are easy to find, by making x=0 or y=0
I do not know what you meant by
(x-1,782,000,000)2/3.42(10)23 + (y-356,400,000)2/1.368(10)22
Perhaps it was

but I would expect that to be equal to 1 and be followed by a question about the eccentricity of the orbit of some object that travels along an elliptical path described by that equation.
