Given line equation of 2-order: ax=0 This equation looks like: a2a22+2aa12x+2aa23+a11x2+2a13x+a33=0 where a11=0 a12=21 a13=0 a22=0 a23=0 a33=0 To calculate the determinant Δ=a11a12a12a22 or, substitute Δ=021210 Δ=−41 Because Δ is not equal to 0, then find the center of the canonical coordinate system. To do it, solve the system of equations a0a12+a11x0+a13=0 a0a22+a12x0+a23=0 substitute coefficients 2a0=0 2x0=0 then x0=0 a0=0 Thus, we have the equation in the coordinate system O'x'y' a′2a22+2a′a12x′+a33′+a11x′2=0 where a33′=a0a23+a13x0+a33 or a33′=0 a33′=0 then equation turns into a′x′=0 Rotate the resulting coordinate system by an angle φ x′=−a~sin(ϕ)+x~cos(ϕ) a′=a~cos(ϕ)+x~sin(ϕ) φ - determined from the formula cot(2ϕ)=2a12a11−a22 substitute coefficients cot(2ϕ)=0 then ϕ=4π sin(2ϕ)=1 cos(2ϕ)=0 cos(ϕ)=2cos(2ϕ)+21 sin(ϕ)=1−cos2(ϕ) cos(ϕ)=22 sin(ϕ)=22 substitute coefficients x′=−22a~+22x~ a′=22a~+22x~ then the equation turns from a′x′=0 to (−22a~+22x~)(22a~+22x~)=0 simplify −2a~2+2x~2=0 2a~2−2x~2=0 Given equation is degenerate hyperbole −(2)2a~2+(2)2x~2=0 - reduced to canonical form The center of canonical coordinate system at point O

Given line equation of 2-order: ax=0 This equation looks like: a2a22+2aa12x+2aa23+a11x2+2a13x+a33=0 where a11=0 a12=21 a13=0 a22=0 a23=0 a33=0 The invariants of the equation when converting coordinates are determinants: I1=a11+a22
I1=0 I2=−41 I3=0 I(λ)=λ2−41 K2=0 Because I3=0∧I2<0 then by line type: this equation is of type : degenerate hyperbole Make the characteristic equation for the line: −I1λ+I2+λ2=0 or λ2−41=0 Solve this equation λ1=−21 λ2=21 then the canonical form of the equation will be a~2λ2+x~2λ1+I2I3=0 or 2a~2−2x~2=0 −(2)2a~2+(2)2x~2=0 - reduced to canonical form
