0 < e < 1 Ellipse It is the locus of a point P(h, k) inx-y plane which moves such that theratioof its distance from a fixed pointto itsdistance from a fixed straightline isconstant. • Fixed point is known as focus (S). • Fixed line is known as directrix (DD´). • Fixed ratio is known as eccentricty (e).
