{\displaystyle z={\frac {x^{2}}{a^{2}}}-{\frac {y^{2}}{b^{2}}}}
one gets following cases:
a parabola, if plane parallel z-axis equation

{\displaystyle ux+vy+w=0,\ au\neq \pm bv}
,
a line, if plane parallel z-axis equation
u

{\displaystyle ux+vy+w=0,\ au=\pm bv}
,
a pair of intersecting lines, if plane tangent plane,
a hyperbola, if plane not parallel z-axis , not tangent plane.
