What is the graph of $x^2+y^2=|x|+|y|$. I tried solving this but I have don't understand how we know that the graph is symmetric to the axes. I read the solutions to this Area enclosed by the curve $x^2+y^2=|x|+|y|$. btw

Because of the squares and the absolute value signs, changing the sign on $x$ or $y$ will not change either side of the equation. That means that if you find one solution $(x,y)$ you know that $(-x,y), (x,-y)$ and $(-x,-y)$ are also solutions. You can find the solution in the first quadrant (for example) and reflect it in both axes to get the solution in the other quadrants.
