Please help! Convert this equation to standard form:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2x ^{2}+5y ^{2}=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is a pair of lines. I think it is already in standard form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know because the problem says identify the conic section, convert to standard form, and graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am sorry. this is none of the conic sections

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i thought it was an ellipse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because both x and y are squared and positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it is not an ellipse. It is even not a pair of lines !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because if solve for y, you get no real solution !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it factorable?
