Conic Sections

Circle Centered at (h, k) with a radius of r:
  (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r 2
Ellipse Centered at (h, k) with its major axis parallel to the x-axis:
 
  Centered at (h, k) with its major axis parallel to the y-axis:
 
Parabola If parabola opens vertically:
  y = a(x - h)2 + k
  If parabola opens horizontally:
  x = a(y - k)2 + h
Hyperbola If transverse axis is horizontal:
 
  If transverse axis is vertical:
