7.4. Orthogonality 427<br />

= 2y 2 1 + 8y 2 2<br />

Therefore the level curve can be written as 2y 2 1 + 8y2 2 = 8.<br />

This is an ellipse which is parallel to the coord<strong>in</strong>ate axes. Its graph is of the form<br />

y 2<br />

y 1<br />

Thus this change of variables chooses new axes such that with respect to these new axes, the ellipse is<br />

oriented parallel to the coord<strong>in</strong>ate axes.<br />
