It's important to know that conic sections have quadratic equations as formulas.

In this case, the equation of a hyperbola is


Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0

Where AC<0.

The reason for this is because if AC<0, then the coefficients A and C will have opposite signs, which is a main characteristic of hyperbolas.

Hence, the statement is true.
