Conic Sections Flow Chart

This document provides a decision tree for classifying conic sections. It asks whether both variables are squared, and if so whether the squared terms are subtracted - if yes, it's an ellipse, if no, it's a hyperbola. If only one variable is squared, it asks whether the squared terms have different denominators - if yes, it's a parabola, if no, it's a circle.
