x^2 - 4y^2 - 4x - 24y = 48
----------
It's a hyperbola because the signs of the coefficients of x^2 and
of y^2 are different.

Given equation:

Compare with the standard equation for a conic

If then the conic is a parabola.
If then the conic is an ellipse.
If then the conic is a hyperbola.
If and then the conic is a circle.

Here, a = 1, b = -4, h = 0.
So and hence the conic is a hyperbola.
