x^2 +2x+1+y^2 −8y+16 = 2xy+19  (x+1)^2 +(y−4)^2  = 2xy+19  next
x2+2x+1+y28y+16=2xy+19(x+1)2+(y4)2=2xy+19next

y=x+4±(√(6(x+3))) defined for x≥−3  x=y−1±(√(3(2y+1))) defined for y≥−(1/2)  ⇒ it′s a parabola with direction x^+  and y^+                         ...under construction...

thank you sir!  i got the symmetry axis y=x+(5/2) and  have checked graphically.
thankyousir!igotthesymmetryaxisy=x+52andhavecheckedgraphically.

Method 1  x^2 +y^2 −2xy+2x−8y−2=0  ⇒(x−y+1)^2 −6y−3=0  it is to see that the curve is a parabola,  which has one and only one symmetry  axis.    the symmetry axis of a parabola is  one of the lines which intersect  (not tangent) the parabola at only one  point.  let′s say this symmetry axis is  x=my+k, or y=(x/m)−(k/m).    the intersection of both is the   solution of   { (((x−y+1)^2 −6y−3=0)),((x=my+k)) :}  (my+k−y+1)^2 −6y−3=0  [(m−1)y+(k+1)]^2 −6y−3=0  (m−1)^2 y^2 +2[(m−1)(k+1)−3]y+(k+1)^2 −3=0  since it should always have only one  root, the y^2  term must vanish, i.e.  m=1. the eqn. is then  −6y+(k+1)^2 −3=0  ⇒y=(((k+1)^2 −3)/6)  ⇒x=(((k+1)^2 −3)/6)+k  such that this line is parabola′s axis,  the intersection point is the vertex,  i.e. vertex is ((((k+1)^2 −3)/6)+k, (((k+1)^2 −3)/6)).    we know at vertex the tangent of the  parabola is perpendicular to the  (symmetry) axis of the parabola,  i.e. y′=−m=−1.  from (x−y+1)^2 −6y−3=0 we get  2(x−y+1)(1−y′)−6y′=0  at the vertex:  2(k+1)(1+1)+6=0  ⇒k=−(5/2)  therefore the symmetry axis is  x=my+k=y−(5/2)  or y=x+(5/2)
