LINE - when the intersection of the plane and the double napped cone is the inclined height of the double napped cone., POINT - when the plane intersects the vertex only the double napped cone., PARABOLA - is the intersection of a plane with one nappe of the cone., FOCUS - fixed point in the conic section., INTERSECTING LINES - when the plane intersects the vertex of the double napped cone., CIRCLE - is a locus of points which moves, so that it is equidistant from its fixed point called center., CONIC SECTION - it is the intersection of a plane and a double napped cone which is used in the study of analytic geometry., ELLIPSE - locus of a point which moves, so that the sum of its distance from two fixed points is constant., VERTEX - also called as center (in circle and ellipse)., MINOR AXIS - where the covertices is located., DIRECTRIX - fixed line of a parabola, MAJOR AXIS - where the vertices and foci are located.,
