Step 1
We need to determine the shape of the given conic section using its equation.
x22xy+y2+x2y1=0
Step 2
We know that, for the general equation of conic section
Ax2+Bxy+Cy2+Dx+Ey+F=0
if B24AC=0, then the conic must be a parabola.
For the given equation, A=1,B=2,C=1
B24AC=(2)24(1)(1)
=0=> given conic section is a parabola
Step 3
The graph of the parabola has been shown below.
