2.1. INTRODUCTIOON
rIn the previous chapter we have studied that the general equation of second degree
represents a conic section. We shall now diseuss how to trace the conics.
T9V7T 10 rtyrsi
Step 2. Find the centre (1, ¥1) of the conic on solving the equations
ax +hy1 +8=0
and hx +by +f = 0
ax+2hXY+6Y +c = 0 .(2)
where c = g*1 + /1 +C.
Equation (2) can be written as
x2 C1
xY-y2=1
C1
or AX+2HXY +BY' =1
where X = *-*1, Y =y-Y1
