What conic section is represented by the equation show below? 9x+4y^2+18x=16

Conic sections are cross-sectional areas of a cone (the 2-d figure you get when you slice a cone). You can get circle, an ellipse, a parabola, or a hyperbola.

In this case it is a hyperbola because, when graphed, it is not a function (so not a parabola) and does not form a circle or ellipse/oval shape.

I believe its parabola
