Assume energy greater than 0.
Consider cases in which k is either + or - and l is either 0 or +.
Using your tuition, what are the possible orbits?
k<0:
l=0: falls to the center
l=+: hyperbola or it falls to the center
k>0:
l=0: hyperbola
l=+: hyperbola or it falls to the center
what about circular orbits?
