TikZ | Equation Plot

Post by Ross »

Hi everyone,

I'm new to LaTeX and I'm trying to plot an ellipsis given by the function:
x^2+a*xy+y^2=1, where a is element of the real numbers.
I'm not quite sure what's the best way to this, I thought of using the tikZ package, but I'm only know how to plot simple functions, e.g. f(x)=x^2.

Would be great if someone here could help me out!

Best regards
Ross

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
