Answer:
not sure if it's ryt but I think it's A
Solve for x or y or 1
solving for y
divide both sides by x
y=25/x
not a line because x has t ohave exponent of 1, this one is y=25x^-1
ok, solve for something else
solve for 1
xy/25=1
this doesn't fit into the standard forms of any of the conic sections
if we were to subsitute points we would see it is a hyperbola that is diagonal with the x and y axises as assemtots
it is a hyperbola
