For $A = \left(\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right)$ in $\mathcal{M}_2(\mathbb{R})$, with $\varphi_A(x,y)$ the determinant of $A(x,y) = \left(\begin{array}{cc} a-x & b-y \\ c+y & d-x \end{array}\right)$, what do the solutions of the equation $\varphi_A(x,0) = 0$ represent for $A$? Specify the number of real eigenvalues of $A$ according to the value of $\Delta_A = (a-d)^2 + 4bc$.
