The iPhoto App will Open, if have any photo library it will show the Library, if you don’t have any Photos you will be on a fresh iPhoto Screen.

In Mac it is Possible to run both Photo and iPhoto App, but it is not a good idea using both Apps at the same OS might confuse or mess up an Photo library. You should really stick to one App or the other. If you desperately want to use both Apps, make sure to create different Photo Libraries for both App so they don’t overlap while in use.

Remember iPhoto is no longer supported by Apple, the Photos App is the Future of Mac, So moving an iPhoto library to the Photos App and try to learn and getting used to the interface of Photos App is best idea. You can Use IPhoto as long as you want but it is not going to receive any Updates in future. So it may lose compatibility with Future OS X Versions.

Generally, running iPhoto on Mac with Photos App is not recommended, unless you have a compelling reason to do. It is best to use Photos App in OS X Yosemite and move forward.
