Conic Sectio

Conic sections are shapes formed by the intersection of a plane and a cone. Varying the angle and location of the intersecting plane produces different conic sections, including circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. Special cases where the plane touches the vertex of the cone result in points, lines, or two intersecting lines.

Definition:
A conic section is
the intersection of a
plane and a cone.

By changing the angle and location of intersection, we can produce a circle, ellipse, parabola or
hyperbola; or in the special case when the plane touches the vertex: a point, line or 2 intersecting
lines.
