7x^2 + 7y^2 - 10x + 14y - 20 = 0
is this a circle or an ellipse?
i know its not a parabola, neither A nor C is zero, and A and C have the same sign, which its not an hyperbola.

---
If the x^2 and the y^2 have equal coefficients,
the graph is a circle.
If they have different signs the graph is a hyperbola.
If they have the same sign but different values the
graph is an ellipse.

The conic sections described by this equation can be classified with the discriminant .
If the conic is non-degenerate, then:
--> if < 0, the equation represents an ellipse;
**if A = C and B = 0, the equation represents a circle, which is a special case of an ellipse;
--> if = 0, the equation represents a parabola;
--> if > 0, the equation represents a hyperbola;
**if we also have A + C = 0, the equation represents a rectangular hyperbola.
