Ellipse Line Intersection

In this article we discuss ellipse line intersection. Ellipse is a conic section of geometry function. Ellipse can be defined in mathematically a plane passing through the right circular at angle between `0^o` to `90^o` . Ellipse can be included in two points like A1, A2. These two points called  focus.

We are taking any two points on an above ellipse, the sum of the distance from the focus points is constant.

Shape of the ellipse line intersection:

The intersection of line in ellipse at centered origin. The line can passing through the points is `(x_o, y_o)` or origin.

The formula for ellipse is given below,
x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1`
where,
a=horizontal semi- axis
b=vertical semi-axis
 The trigonometry formula for ellipse is,
x=acos(t) and
y=asin(t)
where,
t =ellipse parameter
a=horizontal axis
b=vertical axis

Some important properties of ellipse line intersection:

  • Center of ellipse :                 

It can be defined as connecting the focus points by using inside the single midpoint. It is also called as intersection of major and minor axes.                                             
  • Major and Minor axes:

The longest diameter of the ellipse is called as major axes and shortest diameter of the ellipse is called as minor axes.                               
major/minor                    
  • Tangent:

A line just touching one point on a ellipse is called as tangent.

  • Secant :

The intersection of two points on an ellipse is called as secant.

  • Chord :

It can be defined as a line just linking any 2 points on ellipse.
