Conics
Using the definition of a hyperbola, rotate the conic section defined by the equation

((x-3)/3)2 - ((y-1)/4)2 = 1

45 degrees counterclockwise about its center.

Express your equation in the form Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0, where the coefficients A through F are relatively prime integers. You will not need to belabor your process of simplification - please, however, describe the steps you take to simplify.
