Graph conic sections given their standard form.

COS Examples

Example: The graph of $\frac {x^2}{9} + \frac {(y-3)^2}{4} = 1$ will be an ellipse centered at (0,3) with major axis 3 and minor axis 2, while the graph of $frac {x^2}{9} - \frac {(y-3)^2}{4} = 1$ will be a hyperbola centered at (0,3) with asymptotes with slope $ \neq 2/3.$
