At this point, you have explored each of the four conic sections (parabola, circle, ellipse and hyperbola) in detail. But if you are given an equation, can you synthesize all of this knowledge to determine which conic section is being described? You’re about to find out! Your task for Part 1 of this lesson is to identify the conic section from the equation.

I dont understand what its asking

Lol, flvs? It's telling you to figure out which conic section each equation, they gave you, is from. Each equation is either from Parabola, circle, ellipse, or hyperbola. I'm sure you've figured that out by now though.
