This guide helps determine the type of conic section represented by the general equation Ax² + Bxy + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0. By examining the coefficients of the terms, we can identify whether the conic is a parabola, hyperbola, ellipse, or circle. Key questions to consider include: Are both x and y squared? Are the coefficients of x² and y² positive? Do x² and y² have the same coefficient? Understanding these relationships will aid in the classification of conics accurately.
