Can anyone help identify conic section equations? Here's my problems:

Match each equation with the conic section it represents.

1. x^2+y^2-10x+5y-8=0 - I know that this one is a circle

2. 4x^2-9y^2+10x-5y-8=0

3. x^2-8x+4y-12=0

4. 3x^2+8y^2+4x-12y-10=0

My options are: hyperbola, parabola, and ellipses.

I will FAN & MEDAL the one who helps me the most :)

type those equations in wolframalpha.com it will tell you if its a hyperbola parabola ellipse or a circle.
