The general form of the conic section equation is: \[Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0\] where not both A and C are zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if \(B^2-4AC<0\) , an ellipse is defined if \(B^2-4AC>0\), a hyperbola is defined if \(B^2-4AC=0\), then the conic is a parabola

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now check and see what u have here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hyperbola?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add \(y^2\) to both sides and it disappears

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it is a hyperbola
