The discriminant is $\"\"$ .

The discriminant can be written as $\"\"$ .

The general form of the conic equation is $\"\"$ .

Identify the conic section using the discriminant of $\"\"$ .

If a circle $\"\"$ ; $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

If an ellipse $\"\"$ ; either $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

If a hyperbola $\"\"$ .

If an parabola $\"\"$ .

Here $\"\"$ .

Subustiute the values in the equation $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

The discriminant is $\"\"$ , so the conic is a parabola. $\"\"$

The conic is a parabola.
