We examine the axis intersections of a conic with a general equation:

We see that none of the coordinates contains c the coefficient of the XY term in the conic’s equation. Hence any conic with the same equation but a different coefficient of XY will intersect the axes in the same points. Try moving c in the Variables window and notice what happens to the ellipse.
