Determine the shape of the graph represented by this equation: -x^2 + 4y^2 - 6x -48y + 139= 0 ellipse or hyperbole

ANSWER

Hyperbole.

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

We use the sign of the quadratic terms to determine whether the conic is a hyperbole or an ellipse.

Since the sign of the coefficient of the quadratic terms are opposite, the conic is a hyperbole.
