Other ways shift the terms containing x₀² and y₀² from the left-hand side of the equation

Posted 4 months ago
b^2 x x0 - b^2 x0^2 + a^2 y y0 - a^2 y0^2 == 0

How to simultaneously shift the terms containing x₀² and y₀² from the left-hand side of the equation,get the result as follows:What other good methods are there?

b^2 x x0 + a^2 y y0 == b^2 x0^2 + a^2 y0^2

The follows is my own method.

b^2 x x0 - b^2 x0^2 + a^2 y y0 - a^2 y0^2 == 0
% /.
 b^2 x x0 - m_.*b^2 x0^2 + a^2 y y0 - n_.*a^2 y0^2 == 0 :> 
  b^2 x x0 + a^2 y y0 == m*b^2 x0^2 + n*a^2 y0^2

Another way:

eqn = b^2 x x0 - b^2 x0^2 + a^2 y y0 - a^2 y0^2 == 0

With[{sides = 
   GroupBy[MonomialList[Subtract @@ eqn], FreeQ[x0^2 | y0^2]]},
 Total[Lookup[sides, True, {}]] == -Total[Lookup[sides, False, {}]]]
