Invariants method
Given equation of the surface of 2-order:
$$- 2 x^{2} - 18 y^{2} + z = 0$$
This equation looks like:
$$a_{11} x^{2} + 2 a_{12} x y + 2 a_{13} x z + 2 a_{14} x + a_{22} y^{2} + 2 a_{23} y z + 2 a_{24} y + a_{33} z^{2} + 2 a_{34} z + a_{44} = 0$$
where
$$a_{11} = -2$$
$$a_{12} = 0$$
$$a_{13} = 0$$
$$a_{14} = 0$$
$$a_{22} = -18$$
$$a_{23} = 0$$
$$a_{24} = 0$$
$$a_{33} = 0$$
$$a_{34} = \frac{1}{2}$$
$$a_{44} = 0$$
The invariants of the equation when converting coordinates are determinants:

$$I_{1} = -20$$
$$I_{2} = 36$$
$$I_{3} = 0$$
$$I_{4} = -9$$
$$I{\left(\lambda \right)} = - \lambda^{3} - 20 \lambda^{2} - 36 \lambda$$
$$K_{2} = - \frac{1}{4}$$
$$K_{3} = 5$$
Because
$$I_{3} = 0 \wedge I_{2} \neq 0 \wedge I_{4} \neq 0$$
then by type of surface:
you need to
Make the characteristic equation for the surface:
$$- I_{1} \lambda^{2} + I_{2} \lambda - I_{3} + \lambda^{3} = 0$$
or
$$\lambda^{3} + 20 \lambda^{2} + 36 \lambda = 0$$
$$\lambda_{1} = -2$$
$$\lambda_{2} = -18$$
$$\lambda_{3} = 0$$
then the canonical form of the equation will be
$$\tilde z 2 \sqrt{\frac{\left(-1\right) I_{4}}{I_{2}}} + \left(\tilde x^{2} \lambda_{1} + \tilde y^{2} \lambda_{2}\right) = 0$$
and
$$- \tilde z 2 \sqrt{\frac{\left(-1\right) I_{4}}{I_{2}}} + \left(\tilde x^{2} \lambda_{1} + \tilde y^{2} \lambda_{2}\right) = 0$$
$$- 2 \tilde x^{2} - 18 \tilde y^{2} + \tilde z = 0$$
and
$$- 2 \tilde x^{2} - 18 \tilde y^{2} - \tilde z = 0$$
        2           2                 
\tilde x    \tilde y                  
--------- + --------- - 2*\tilde z = 0
   1/4         1/36                   

and
        2           2                 
\tilde x    \tilde y
