How to combine a quadratic curve and a line to form an equation with only quadratic terms?

This is my own try at making this work with the substitution method. It’s manageable if you know the equation well, but the steps get really tedious with a complex quadratic equation.

L = m x + n y;
ellipseOriginal = (x + x0)^2/a^2 + (y + y0)^2/b^2 == 1; 
ellipseHomogenized1 = 
 ellipseOriginal /. {x0 -> x0*L, y0 -> y0*L, 1 -> L^2}

How to use code to automatically generate such a homogeneous quadratic equation by combining the linear equation and the quadratic curve?

Homogenize: $w^2 \, f(x/w, y/w)$; get in the form you want; then replace $w$ by $mx+ny$.

I have also added my own attempted solutions.
