We have, \mathrm{x^2-y^2-4 x+4 y+16=0}

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow\left(x^2-4 x\right)-\left(y^2-4 y\right)=-16 \\\\ & \Rightarrow\left(x^2-4 x+4\right)-\left(y^2-4 y+4\right)=-16 \\\\ & \Rightarrow(x-2)^2-(y-2)^2=-16 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{(x-2)^2}{4^2}-\frac{(y-2)^2}{4^2}=-1 \end{aligned}}

Shifting the origin at (2,2), we obtain 

\mathrm{\frac{X^2}{4^2}-\frac{Y^2}{4^2}=-1 \text {, where } x=X+2, y=Y+2 \text {. }}

Clearly, it is a rectangular hyperbola, whose eccentricity

is always \mathrm{\sqrt{2} .}
