Answer: GoodMorning: ) ✨ So we should know that A parabola is defined as a set of points in a plane which are equidistant from a straight line or directrix and focus, and that The hyperbola can be defined as the difference of distances between a set of points, which are present in a plane to two fixed points is a positive constant. So what what I mean by that is that if you have like a y squared term but no x squared term or vice versa so you have an x squared term but no y squared term then you know it's a parabola.
