How do I find the angle of rotation of 153x^2 - 192xy + 97y^2 - 30x -40y - 200 = 0153x2−192xy+97y2−30x−40y−200=0, given cot 2theta = (A - C)/Bcot2θ=A−CB?

Explanation:
So
But wait, there's more.
Perhaps we are really interested in eliminating the
Even if we don't immediately see it, that is a
Or use trigonometry: if the cotangent of an angle is
If
Now we can use half-angle formulas to get
And then we can do the substitution to eliminate the
