if you can, I recommend downloading geogebra it is a graphing calculator program that is very useful link: http://www.geogebra.org/cms/en/

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

with this program, you can type in the exact equation above (you can copy and paste even) into the input bar and it will graph it for you

wolf will do it too
but you probably need to know that it is a hyperbola to start with and also know for example that the center is $(0,0)$ and some other facts

anonymous · Answer

form is 
$$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$$ in your example $h=0, k=0, a=3, b=2$

maybe if you paid for their services, it would be better, idk
