horizontal one cone
ELLIPSE– when HYPERBOLA–
the tilted plane when the plane
intersects only one intersects both
to form a bounded cones to form two

x2 + y2 –x + 6y + ¼ = 0
4x2 + 4y2 – 4x + 24y + 1 = 0
x2 + y2 –x + 6y + ¼ = 0
Group all the x and y terms
and transpose the constant
term to the right side of the
equation.
(x2 – x + ¼) + (y2 + 6y + 9) = -¼
+¼+9
4x2 + 4y2 – 4x + 24y + 1 = 0
x2 + y2 –x + 6y + ¼ = 0
(x2 – x) + (y2 + 6y) = -¼
(x2 – x + ¼) + (y2 + 6y) = -¼ + ¼
(x2 – x + ¼) + (y2 + 6y + 9) = -¼

Factor the left side and
simplify the right side of the
equation.
4x2 + 4y2 – 4x + 24y + 1 = 0
x2 + y2 –x + 6y + ¼ = 0
(x2 – x) + (y2 + 6y) = -¼
(x2 – x + ¼) + (y2 + 6y) = -¼ + ¼
(x2 – x + ¼) + (y2 + 6y + 9) = -¼

(x2 – ½) + (y2 + 3) = + 9
X2 + Y2 – 6X = 7
x2 – 6x + y2 = 7
x2 – 6x + y2 + 0y = 7
(x2 – 6x + 9)+ (y2 + 0y + 0) = 7 + 9
(x2 – 6x + 9)+ (y2 + 0y + 0) = 16
(x – 3)2 + ( y – 0)2 = (4)2
