What Are Conic Sections?
Conic sections are obtained by the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane, and have certain features.
Eccentricity
Every conic section has a constant eccentricity that provides information about its shape.

Types of Conic Sections
Conic sections are formed by the intersection of a plane with a cone, and their properties depend on how this intersection occurs.
