A conic section or simple conic, is defined as the graph of a second-degree equation in

and

In terms of locus of points, a conic is defined as the path of a point, which moves so that
its distance from a fixed point is in constant ratio to its distance from a fixed line. The fixed
point is called the focus of the conic, the fixed line is called the directrix of the conic, and

the constant ratio is called the eccentricity, usually denoted by
