e = distance from point to focus / distance from point to directrixCircle
(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0(x-x₁)(x-x₂) + (y-y₁)(y-y₂) = 0Parabola
y² = 4axy² = -4axx² = 4ayx² = -4ayEllipse
x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 (a > b)x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 (a < b)e = √(1 - b²/a²) for a > be = √(1 - a²/b²) for a < bGet the complete formula sheet with derivations — continue in Super Tutor
