Analytic Geometry
Analytic geometry, usually
called coordinate geometry and
earlier referred to as Cartesian
geometry
or
analytical
geometry, is the study of
geometry using the principles
of algebra

The Circle

The plane that intersects the cone is

perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the
cone.

The Ellipse

The plane that intersects the cone is neither

parallel nor perpendicular to the axis of
symmetry of the cone and cuts through 2
sides

The Parabola

The plane that intersects the cone

is parallel to an element of the
cone.

The Hyperbola

The plane that intersects the cone is parallel

to the axis of symmetry of the cone.

Find the inclination of the line 2x+3y = 6
m= -a/b
m= -2/3
