** Equation of any line parallel to X-axis is y = a, & equation of X-axis is y = 0.
** Equation of any line parallel to Y-axis is x = b & equation of Y axis is x = 0.
** Slope of line inclined at an angle with the + ve X- axis = tan .
** Slope of a line parallel to X-axis = 0 , slope of a line parallel to Y-axis = undefined.
Slope of a line equally inclined to the coordinate axes is –1 or 1.

** If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal.
** If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is –1.
** Any equation of the form Ax + By + C = 0, with A and B are not zero, simultaneously, is called the
general linear equation or general equation of a line.
(i) If A = 0, the line is parallel to the x-axis (ii) If B = 0, the line is parallel to the y-axis
(iii) If C = 0, the line passes through origin.
** Equation of a line having slope = m and cutting off an intercept „c‟ and Y-axis is y = mx + c.
** Equation of a line through the point (x1, y1) and having slope m is y – y1 = m(x – x1).

CONIC SECTIONS
CONCEPTS AND RESULTS
CIRCLES
A circle is a locus of a point which moves in a plane such that its distance from a fixed point in that
plane in always constant. The fixed point is said to be the circle and the constant distance is said to be
the radius.
** The equation of a circle with centre (h , k) and the radius r is (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2.
** The equation of a circle with centre (0 , 0) and the radius r is x2 + y2 = r2.
** General equation of a circle is x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 whose centre is (–g, –f) and radius is
g2 f 2 c
** Equation of a circle when end points of diameter as A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2) is given by
(x – x1) (x – x2) + (y – y1) (y – y2) = 0.
** Length of intercepts made by the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 on the X and Y-axes are
2 g 2 c and 2 f 2 c .
CONICS
Conic Section or a conic is the locus of a point which moves so that its distance from affixed point
bears a constant ratio to its distance from a fixed line.
The fixed point is called the focus, the straight line the directrix and the constant ratio denoted
by e is called the eccentricity.
distance between P(x, y) & Focus
Eccentricity (e) e= .
distance between P(x, y) & Directrix
If e = 1, then conic is a parabola.
If e < 1, then conic is a an ellipse.
If e > 1, then conic is a hyperbola.
If e = 0, then conic is a circle.
