Given line equation of 2-order: x2−8xy+7y2=0 This equation looks like: a11x2+2a12xy+2a13x+a22y2+2a23y+a33=0 where a11=1 a12=−4 a13=0 a22=7 a23=0 a33=0 To calculate the determinant Δ=a11a12a12a22 or, substitute Δ=1−4−47 Δ=−9 Because Δ is not equal to 0, then find the center of the canonical coordinate system. To do it, solve the system of equations a11x0+a12y0+a13=0 a12x0+a22y0+a23=0 substitute coefficients x0−4y0=0 −4x0+7y0=0 then x0=0 y0=0 Thus, we have the equation in the coordinate system O'x'y' a33′+a11x′2+2a12x′y′+a22y′2=0 where a33′=a13x0+a23y0+a33 or a33′=0 a33′=0 then equation turns into x′2−8x′y′+7y′2=0 Rotate the resulting coordinate system by an angle φ x′=x~cos(ϕ)−y~sin(ϕ) y′=x~sin(ϕ)+y~cos(ϕ) φ - determined from the formula cot(2ϕ)=2a12a11−a22 substitute coefficients cot(2ϕ)=43 then ϕ=2acot(43) sin(2ϕ)=54 cos(2ϕ)=53 cos(ϕ)=2cos(2ϕ)+21 sin(ϕ)=1−cos2(ϕ) cos(ϕ)=525 sin(ϕ)=55 substitute coefficients x′=525x~−55y~ y′=55x~+525y~ then the equation turns from x′2−8x′y′+7y′2=0 to 7(55x~+525y~)2−8(55x~+525y~)(525x~−55y~)+(525x~−55y~)2=0 simplify −x~2+9y~2=0 x~2−9y~2=0 Given equation is degenerate hyperbole 12x~2−(31)2y~2=0 - reduced to canonical form The center of canonical coordinate system at point O

Given line equation of 2-order: x2−8xy+7y2=0 This equation looks like: a11x2+2a12xy+2a13x+a22y2+2a23y+a33=0 where a11=1 a12=−4 a13=0 a22=7 a23=0 a33=0 The invariants of the equation when converting coordinates are determinants: I1=a11+a22
I1=8 I2=−9 I3=0 I(λ)=λ2−8λ−9 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 λ2−8λ−9=0 λ1=9 λ2=−1 then the canonical form of the equation will be x~2λ1+y~2λ2+I2I3=0 or 9x~2−y~2=0 (31)2x~2−12y~2=0 - reduced to canonical form
