Given line equation of 2-order: x2+2y2=0 This equation looks like: a11x2+2a12xy+2a13x+a22y2+2a23y+a33=0 where a11=1 a12=0 a13=0 a22=2 a23=0 a33=0 To calculate the determinant Δ=a11a12a12a22 or, substitute Δ=1002 Δ=2 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=0 2y0=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+2y′2=0 Given equation is degenerate ellipse 12x~2+(22)2y~2=0 - reduced to canonical form The center of canonical coordinate system at point O

Given line equation of 2-order: x2+2y2=0 This equation looks like: a11x2+2a12xy+2a13x+a22y2+2a23y+a33=0 where a11=1 a12=0 a13=0 a22=2 a23=0 a33=0 The invariants of the equation when converting coordinates are determinants: I1=a11+a22
I1=3 I2=2 I3=0 I(λ)=λ2−3λ+2 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 λ2−3λ+2=0 λ1=2 λ2=1 then the canonical form of the equation will be x~2λ1+y~2λ2+I2I3=0 or 2x~2+y~2=0 (22)2x~2+12y~2=0 - reduced to canonical form
