9x%5E2+-+4y%5E2+%2B+54x+%2B+8y+%2B+41+=+0
Complete the square in x and y.
9x%5E2%2B54x-4y%5E2%2B8y=-41
9%28x%5E2%2B6x%29-4%28y%5E2-2y%29=-41
9%28x%5E2%2B6x%2B9%29-4%28y%5E2-2y%2B1%29=-41%2B9%289%29-4%281%29
9%28x%2B3%29%5E2-4%28y%2B1%29%5E2=36
highlight%28%28x%2B3%29%5E2%2F4-%28y%2B1%29%5E2%2F9=1%29
