Given line equation of 2-order: x12+x22=0 This equation looks like: a11x22+2a12x1x2+2a13x2+a22x12+2a23x1+a33=0 where a11=1 a12=0 a13=0 a22=1 a23=0 a33=0 To calculate the determinant Δ=a11a12a12a22 or, substitute Δ=1001 Δ=1 Because Δ is not equal to 0, then find the center of the canonical coordinate system. To do it, solve the system of equations a11x20+a12x10+a13=0 a12x20+a22x10+a23=0 substitute coefficients x20=0 x10=0 then x20=0 x10=0 Thus, we have the equation in the coordinate system O'x'y' a33′+a11x2′2+2a12x1′x2′+a22x1′2=0 where a33′=a13x20+a23x10+a33 or a33′=0 a33′=0 then equation turns into x1′2+x2′2=0 Given equation is degenerate ellipse 12x~12+12x~22=0 - reduced to canonical form The center of canonical coordinate system at point O

Given line equation of 2-order: x12+x22=0 This equation looks like: a11x22+2a12x1x2+2a13x2+a22x12+2a23x1+a33=0 where a11=1 a12=0 a13=0 a22=1 a23=0 a33=0 The invariants of the equation when converting coordinates are determinants: I1=a11+a22
I1=2 I2=1 I3=0 I(λ)=λ2−2λ+1 K2=0 Because I3=0∧I2>0 then by line type: this equation is of type : degenerate ellipse Make the characteristic equation for the line: −I1λ+I2+λ2=0 or λ2−2λ+1=0 λ1=1 λ2=1 then the canonical form of the equation will be x~12λ2+x~22λ1+I2I3=0 or x~12+x~22=0 12x~12+12x~22=0 - reduced to canonical form
