Shifting graphs of Equations ■ Shifted Ellipses ■ Shifted Parabolas
■ Shifted Hyperbolas ■ the general Equation of a Shifted Conic
■ Shifting graphs of Equations
x h, the graph of the new equation is simply the old graph shifted horizontally; if y is
In the preceding sections we studied parabolas with vertices at the origin and ellipses and
hyperbolas with centers at the origin. We restricted ourselves to these cases because these
equations have the simplest form. In this section we consider conics whose vertices and
centers are not necessarily at the origin, and we determine how this affects their equation
