Answer 1

Answer:

Solution : Parabola

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see only one variable is square in this situation, so it can only be a parabola. We can prove that it is a parabola however by converting it into standard form (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2.

$y^2-1=4\left(x-7\right) = y^2-1=4\left(x-7\right)$

Respectively it's properties would be as follows,

$\left(h,\:k\right)=\left(\frac{27}{4},\:0\right),\:p=1$
