Other Form of the Ellipse :
Chapter 8. ELLIPSE Definition : The locus of a point P whose distance from a fixed point S bears a constant ratio e (e < 1) to its distance from the fixed line d, is called as an ellipse. The fixed point and fixed line respectively are called as the focus and directrix of the ellipse and the constant ratio e is called as the eccentricity of the ellipse.
