If you want to plot an implicit function then the command to use is ContourPlot.
If you want to combine two contours you can do this with Show[plot1,plot2].
When you do it you probably want to turn off contour shading so that one plot
does not hide the other.



In[8]:= ContourPlot[ x^2 +y^2-1, {x, -2,2},{y,-2,2},
        ContourShading -> False, Contours -> {0}]
        

Out[8]= -ContourGraphics-

In[9]:= ContourPlot[ x^2 y^2-1, {x, -2,2},{y,-2,2},
        ContourShading -> False, Contours -> {0}]
        

Out[9]= -ContourGraphics-

In[10]:= Show[%, %%]

Out[10]= -Graphics-
