Ellipse has two orientations, horizontal and vertical.

Before we discuss all the


process on solving the different properties and other standard equation of an ellipse,
we need to understand what are the different properties of an ellipse.

a) FOCUS – The fixed point that fixed point that is inside the curve of the parabola.
b) DIRECTRIX – The fixed line of where all the parabola is equal in distance with
the focus.
– perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of a parabola and does
not touch the parabola.
c) VERTEX – The point where the curve changes direction.
– The point of intersection of the axis of symmetry with the parabola.
d) AXIS of SYMMETRY – Line perpendicular to the directrix passing through the
focus.
– Line that makes a parabola symmetric in terms of its vertex.
e) LATUS RECTUM – line segment that passes through the focus, is perpendicular
to the major axis and has both endpoints on the curve.
– Determines how narrow or wide is the opening of a parabola
f) ENDS OF LATUS RECTUM – points of intersection of the Latus rectum and the
parabola

A. DOWNWARD
 A parabola that opens upward or downward has a standard equation
of ( x−h)2=4 p( y −k ). While its general equation is in the form of
Ax2 + Dx+ Ey + F=0.
