Question: How do I Plot to obtain straight lines?

I'm using maple 11, and I need help changing the axis variable to something other than x vs y.

For example, I want to graph  y= 1+x(2x^2 +3) ^ (1/2)

by changing the eq to ((y-1)/x)^2= 2x^2 +3

and plotting ((y-1)/x)^x  vs x^2 I can obtain a straight line.

How can I change the axis to this instead of  x vs. y

Obviously I'll be using with(plots, implicitplot);
