The graph of a quadratic equation in x and y can, in certain cases, be a point, a line, or a pair of lines. These are called
15. degenerate conics. It is also possible that the equation is not satisfied by any real values of x and y. In such cases the
equation has no graph; it is said to represent an imaginary conic. Each of the following represents a degenerate or
imaginary conic. Where possible, sketch the graph.
