Given line equation of 2-order: x2+5x=0 This equation looks like: a11x2+2a12xy+a22y2+2a13x+2a23y+a33=0 where a11=1 a12=0 a13=25 a22=0 a23=0 a33=0 The invariants of the equation when converting coordinates are determinants: I1=a11+a22
I1=1 I2=0 I3=0 I(λ)=λ2−λ K2=−425 Because I2=0∧I3=0∧K2<0∧I1=0 then by line type: this equation is of type : two parallel lines I1y~2+I1K2=0 or y~2−425=0
