The ellipse is part of the conic section. A regular oval shape is traced by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) is constant.
Ellipse is a locus of a point that moves in a plane such that the sum of its distances from the two points called foci adds up to a constant. It is taken from the cone by cutting it at an angle.
The equation of the ellipse is given below.
[tex]\rm \dfrac{x^2}{a^2} + \dfrac{y^2}{b^2} = 1[/tex]
The ellipse is part of the conic section.
If the variable a is greater than b, then the major axis is parallel to the x-axis and the minor axis is parallel to the y-axis.
If the variable b is greater than a, then the minor axis is parallel to the x-axis and the major axis is parallel to the y-axis.
