When axes are translated, the coefficients of x², xy and y² in a second-degree equation
Aonly xy changes
Bstay unchanged
Call of them change
Dall become zero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. stay unchanged
Substituting x = x' + h and y = y' + k leaves the quadratic terms unchanged; only the linear terms and constant change.
