    Uncovering the Secrets of the General Quadratic Equation: A Geometric Approach

    The product xy from Ax^2 + Bxy + Cy^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 will make the conic oblique to the coordinate axes. The substitution x = x' \cos(\theta) - y' \sin(\theta) and y = x' \sin(\theta)+ y' \cos(\theta) allow us to make the conic parallel or perpendicular to one of the coordinate axes...
