CIRCLES An overview of conic section Definition and equation of circle Finding the equation of a circle ❖ Equation of a circle centered at (0,0) ❖ Circles with center not at the origin Conic sections A conic section is the intersection of a plane and a cone. Observe the shape of the slice that results. The angle at which the cone is sliced produces four different types of conic sections. Circle A circle consists of all points on the plane equidistant from a fixed point called the center. The distance from the center to any point on the circle is constant and is called the radius of the circle.
