The equation of x^{2}y^{2}=64 creates a graph representing a cross pattern. Is there a name for this type of graph?

Question

This was done on an online graphing calculator. I talked with my math teacher and she says she doesn't know what the name of the graph would be. Just for curiosity, not part of an assignment.

Answer 1

I don't think it's a thing. It's not a function. I don't know what application this could have if any. However, ellipses have real-world applications and they are not functions, so you never know.
