Given line equation of 2-order:
$$3 x^{2} - 16 x - 3 y^{2} + 6 y + 24 = 0$$
This equation looks like:
$$a_{11} x^{2} + 2 a_{12} x y + 2 a_{13} x + a_{22} y^{2} + 2 a_{23} y + a_{33} = 0$$
where
$$a_{11} = 3$$
$$a_{12} = 0$$
$$a_{13} = -8$$
$$a_{22} = -3$$
$$a_{23} = 3$$
$$a_{33} = 24$$
To calculate the determinant
$$\Delta = \left|\begin{matrix}a_{11} & a_{12}\\a_{12} & a_{22}\end{matrix}\right|$$
or, substitute
$$\Delta = \left|\begin{matrix}3 & 0\\0 & -3\end{matrix}\right|$$
$$\Delta = -9$$
Because
$$\Delta$$
is not equal to 0, then
find the center of the canonical coordinate system. To do it, solve the system of equations
$$a_{11} x_{0} + a_{12} y_{0} + a_{13} = 0$$
$$a_{12} x_{0} + a_{22} y_{0} + a_{23} = 0$$
substitute coefficients
$$3 x_{0} - 8 = 0$$
$$3 - 3 y_{0} = 0$$
then
$$x_{0} = \frac{8}{3}$$
$$y_{0} = 1$$
Thus, we have the equation in the coordinate system O'x'y'
$$a'_{33} + a_{11} x'^{2} + 2 a_{12} x' y' + a_{22} y'^{2} = 0$$
where
$$a'_{33} = a_{13} x_{0} + a_{23} y_{0} + a_{33}$$
or
$$a'_{33} = - 8 x_{0} + 3 y_{0} + 24$$
$$a'_{33} = \frac{17}{3}$$
then equation turns into
$$3 x'^{2} - 3 y'^{2} + \frac{17}{3} = 0$$
Given equation is hyperbole
$$\frac{\tilde x^{2}}{\frac{17}{9}} - \frac{\tilde y^{2}}{\frac{17}{9}} = -1$$
- reduced to canonical form
