I am doing a homework assignment, and I need to find:
a) what type of conic it is b) the equation for the conic
from $5$ points. In class we haven't done any work with matrices, so I need a method which does not use them.
Example problem: $(0,0), (1,5), (3,4), (2,0), (2,3)$
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
