.
HINT: = .

Therefore,

 =   is equivalent to

 = .   (1)


Now introduce new variables

u = x - y,   (2)
v = x + y.   (3)


From (2) and (3) you have

x = ,    (4)
y = .   (5)


Now substitute these things into (1). You will have

 = ,    or, equivalently,

 = ,    or, equivalently,

 = , 

 = ,

 = ,

 = .


Which conic section is this ??


Correct !  It is a PARABOLA, in coordinates (u,v).

Solved.
