Conic: A conic is defined as the locus of a point which moves such that its distance from a fixed point is always ‘e’
times its distance from a fixed straight line.
Focus: The fixed point is called the focus of the conic.
Directrix: The fixed straight line is called the directrix of the conic.
Eccentricity: The constant ratio is called the eccentricity of the conic.
General equation of a conic ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 represents
(i) a circle if a = b and h = 0.
(ii) a parabola if h2 = ab.
(iii) an ellipse if h2 < ab.
(iv) a hyperbola if h2> ab.

General Equation of a Conic
‘S’ denotes Focus
Line XM denotes Directrix
SP / PM = e
Note:
(i) If e< 1, the conic is called an ellipse.
(ii) If e = 1, the conic is called aparabola.
(iii) If e>1, the conic is called a hyperbola.
