MA.08 The student will investigate and identify the characteristics of conic section equations in (h, k) and standard forms. The techniques of translation and rotation of axes in the coordinate plane will be used to graph conic sections.
Activity: Manipulate different types of conic section equations on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph. Choose from vertical or horizontal parabola, circle, ellipse, and vertical or horizontal hyperbola.
