The line segment through the focus of a parabola and perpendicular to the axis of symmetry is called the JafiasF@€HGR.

An equation of a parabola in the form y = ax* + br + cis the §@R@EaINOFR. Any equation in general form can be written in standard form. The shape of a parabola and the distance between the focus and directrix depend on the value of a in the equation. Eauations of leS AGIFEIE is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point in the plane, called the RES. Any segment with endpoints at the center and a point on the circle is a AGB of the circle. Assume that (x, y) are the coordinates of a point on the circle at the right. The center is at (/1,k), and the radius is r. You can find an equation of the circle by using the Distance Formula.

Equations of Ellipses An InipES is the set of all points in a plane such that the sum of the distances from two fixed points is constant. These two points are called the £68 of the ellipse. Every ellipse has two axes of symmetry, the fiajOR@RS and the SRIROFIKIS The axes are perpendicular at the &enit@F of the ellipse. ‘The foci of an ellipse always lic on the major axis. The endpoints of the major axis are the EHS of the ellipse and the endpoints of the minor axis are the (ieVEriCRS of the ellipse.

The axes are perpendicular at the center of thehyperbola. ‘The 6G of a hyperbola always lie on the transverse axis. The W@RtiG@S are the endpoints of the transverse axis.
