This example demonstrates how to graph the equation 9x^2 – 36x – 4y^2 + 8y = 4. Key mathematical concepts include the properties of conic sections and the graphical representation of equations. Using GeoGebra commands such as LaTeX and Polynomial, the graph of the equation can be constructed. Suitable for high school mathematics courses focusing on coordinate geometry.
