The mixed term $xy$ is to be removed from the general equation $ax^2 + by^2 + 2hxy + 2fy + 2gx + c = 0$. One should rotate the axes through an angle $\theta$ given by $\tan 2\theta$ equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{a - b}{2h}$
  • B
    $\frac{2h}{a + b}$
  • C
    $\frac{a + b}{2h}$
  • D
    $\frac{2h}{a - b}$
