Answer

The graph of the function is:

Work Step by Step

Equation is in this form: $\frac{x-h^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y-k^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ center is at $(h,k)$ The x-intercepts are $(a,0)$ and $(-a,0)$ and the y-intercepts are $(0,b)$ and $(0, -b)$ Using this information and the equation given to us in the problem, we can deduce that the center is at (1,3) and $a=3$ & $b=4$ So we start at the center and count 4 upwards/downwards and 3 right/left.
