.
1) #1 is not an ellipse. It is a parabola, instead.


2) #2 is an ellipse. 

You should apply "completing the squares" procedure to get the ellipse equation in the standard form.

The best place to learn it from are my lessons
    - Ellipse definition, canonical equation, characteristic points and elements

    - Standard equation of an ellipse
    - Identify elements of an ellipse given by its standard equation
    - Find the standard equation of an ellipse given by its elements

    - General equation of an ellipse
    - Transform a general equation of an ellipse to the standard form by completing the square (*)
    - Identify elements of an ellipse given by its general equation
in this site.

Your major source is the lesson marked  (*)  in the list.
