\[\frac{ x^2 }{ 36 }-\frac{ (y+6)^2 }{ 12 }=1\]

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

-6+/-sqrt12/6(x-0)

@freckles does this look right?

OpenStudy (freckles):

yep this looks right \[y=-6 \pm \frac{\sqrt{12}}{6}x\] this feels like almost the same question :p

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Indeedly but i believe they want sqrt3 /3

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\sqrt{12}=\sqrt{4 \cdot 3} =\sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{3}\]

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

sqrt 4 is 2

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

so 2 sqrt 3 / 6
