MODULE 4 - Circle (Analytic Geo)
Introduction
Conic Section (or simply Conic) is the locus of a point which moves
so that its distance from a fixed point (focus) is in constant ratio,
e(eccentricity) to its distance from a fixed straight line (directrix).

A circle is formed when cutting plane is parallel to the base of the conic a. Equation of a circle whose center is at the origin
section.
A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given y
distance from a given point, the centre. The distance between any point of
the circle and the centre is called the radius. The length of a line segment P (x, y) Applying the Pythagorean
connecting two points on the circle and passing through the centre is called Theorem:
