Question

Which equation does not represent an ellipse?

 

**Question 6**

Which equation does not represent an ellipse?

**Options:**

(A) \(\frac{(x + 1)^2}{3} - \frac{(y - 5)^2}{7} = 1\)

(B) \(\frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1\)

(C) \(25x^2 + y^2 + 150x - 14y + 174 = 0\)

(D) \(\frac{(x + 1)^2}{3} + \frac{(y - 5)^2}{7} = 1\)

Explanation:
- Option (A) represents a hyperbola, not an ellipse, because it has a difference between the squared terms.
- Option (B) represents an ellipse in standard form.
- Option (C) can be converted to an ellipse equation by completing the square, making it also represent an ellipse.
- Option (D) represents an ellipse in standard form.

Therefore, Option (A) does not represent an ellipse.
