You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rotate the axes and eliminate the xy term of 3x^2 + 2xy + 3y^2 -8 = 0, Please include details on how to solve.
-------------------
Form: Ax^2 + Bxy + cy^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0
-----
Convert to x'/y' axes using:
x = x'cos(t)-y'sin(t)
y = x'sin(t)+y'cos(t)
and cot(2t) = (A-C)/B
