Write [tex] y^2-4x-4y+8=0 [/tex] in standard form and state its key features, Identify the type of conic.
I know to get into standard form I need to complete the square but with these numbers I am not sure how to factor it should have been in the form [tex]ax^2 + by^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 [/tex] but the x^2 term is missing, so i don't know what to group in brackets and then what to factor.
I think after I get this question into standard form I will be able to tell what type of conic it is and state the key features please help me with the first step how to get this into standard form.
