x^2 - 4*y^2 - 16 = 0
Detail solution
Given line equation of 2-order:
$$x^{2} - 4 y^{2} - 16 = 0$$
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
$$a_{11} = 1$$
$$a_{12} = 0$$
$$a_{13} = 0$$
$$a_{22} = -4$$
$$a_{23} = 0$$
$$a_{33} = -16$$
To calculate the determinant
$$\Delta = \left|\begin{matrix}a_{11} & a_{12}\\a_{12} & a_{22}\end{matrix}\right|$$
or, substitute
$$\Delta = \left|\begin{matrix}1 & 0\\0 & -4\end{matrix}\right|$$
$$\Delta = -4$$
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
$$x_{0} = 0$$
$$- 4 y_{0} = 0$$
then
$$x_{0} = 0$$
$$y_{0} = 0$$
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
$$a'_{33} = -16$$
$$a'_{33} = -16$$
then equation turns into
$$x'^{2} - 4 y'^{2} - 16 = 0$$
Given equation is hyperbole
$$\frac{\tilde x^{2}}{16} - \frac{\tilde y^{2}}{4} = 1$$

Invariants method
Given line equation of 2-order:
$$x^{2} - 4 y^{2} - 16 = 0$$
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
$$a_{11} = 1$$
$$a_{12} = 0$$
$$a_{13} = 0$$
$$a_{22} = -4$$
$$a_{23} = 0$$
$$a_{33} = -16$$
The invariants of the equation when converting coordinates are determinants:
$$I_{1} = a_{11} + a_{22}$$
     |a11  a12|
I2 = |        |
     |a12  a22|

$$I_{3} = \left|\begin{matrix}a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13}\\a_{12} & a_{22} & a_{23}\\a_{13} & a_{23} & a_{33}\end{matrix}\right|$$
$$I{\left(\lambda \right)} = \left|\begin{matrix}a_{11} - \lambda & a_{12}\\a_{12} & a_{22} - \lambda\end{matrix}\right|$$
     |a11  a13|   |a22  a23|
K2 = |        | + |        |
     |a13  a33|   |a23  a33|

substitute coefficients
$$I_{1} = -3$$
     |1  0 |
I2 = |     |
     |0  -4|

$$I_{3} = \left|\begin{matrix}1 & 0 & 0\\0 & -4 & 0\\0 & 0 & -16\end{matrix}\right|$$
$$I{\left(\lambda \right)} = \left|\begin{matrix}1 - \lambda & 0\\0 & - \lambda - 4\end{matrix}\right|$$
     |1   0 |   |-4   0 |
K2 = |      | + |       |
     |0  -16|   |0   -16|

$$I_{1} = -3$$
$$I_{2} = -4$$
$$I_{3} = 64$$
$$I{\left(\lambda \right)} = \lambda^{2} + 3 \lambda - 4$$
$$K_{2} = 48$$
Because
$$I_{2} < 0 \wedge I_{3} \neq 0$$
then by line type:
this equation is of type : hyperbola
Make the characteristic equation for the line:
$$- I_{1} \lambda + I_{2} + \lambda^{2} = 0$$
or
$$\lambda^{2} + 3 \lambda - 4 = 0$$
$$\lambda_{1} = 1$$
$$\lambda_{2} = -4$$
then the canonical form of the equation will be
$$\tilde x^{2} \lambda_{1} + \tilde y^{2} \lambda_{2} + \frac{I_{3}}{I_{2}} = 0$$
or
$$\tilde x^{2} - 4 \tilde y^{2} - 16 = 0$$
$$\frac{\tilde x^{2}}{16} - \frac{\tilde y^{2}}{4} = 1$$
