A conic section or simply conic, is defined as the graph of a second-degree equation in x and y.
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 e.
If e < 1, the conic is an ellipse. (Note that a circle has e=0.)
If e = 1, the conic is a parabola.
If e > 1, the conic is hyperbola.
A. The Circle

The two axes separate the plane into four regions called quadrants. Points can lie in one of the four quadrants or on an axis. The points on the x-axis to the right of the origin correspond to positive numbers; while to the left of the origin correspond to negative numbers. The points on the y-axis above the origin correspond to positive numbers; while below the origin correspond to negative numbers.
