Put your equation in to standard form:



Has both an x squared and a y squared term: NOT a parabola

The x squared and y squared terms have the same sign: NOT a hyperbola

The coefficients on the x squared and y squared terms are equal: NOT an ellipse

Sorry, but I have no idea what a "parabula [sic]" is.
