More About Ellipse
An ellipse is a curve that is shaped like a flattened circle. It is created by two points called the foci, which are located on opposite ends of the ellipse. The line between the foci is called the major axis, while the line connecting the midpoints of the longest sides of the ellipse is called the minor axis.
The General Equation of Ellipse
The general equation of ellipse is x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1 where a and b are the lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axes, respectively.
