Answer

See below

Work Step by Step

Given $x^2-16x-8y+80=0$ We can see that $a=1\\b=0\\c=0$ We will find the discriminant of the given equation $=b^2-4ac\\=0^2-4(1)(0)\\=0$ The conic is a parabola. To graph the ellipse, first complete the square: $x^2-16x-8y+80=0\\x^2-16x=8y-80\\(x-8)^2=8y-16\\(x-8)^2=8(y-2)$ From the equation, you can see that the vertex is at $(8,2)$.
