Standard Equations for Conic Sections
Circle :
h = x coordinate at center
k = y coordinate at center
r = radius
Parabola :
h = x coordinate at center
k = y coordinate at center
p = distance from focus to directrix
Ellipse:
h = x coordinate at center
k = y coordinate at center
a = distance of major axis
b = distance of minor axis
Hyperbola:
h = x coordinate at center
k = y coordinate at center
a = distance of major axis
b = distance of minor axis
