Answer by longjonsilver(2297) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the standard forms for each type of conic are as follows:

parabola: --> you have y and

ellipse:

hyperbola:

Ellipse and hyperbola are very similar in their standard form: differing only in the sign of the y-term.

Your equation is of the ellipse form.
