Hi, there!
Since we can describe eccentricity as
a) Eccentricity close to 0
An ellipsis with eccentricity whose value is 0, is in fact, a degenerate one almost a circle. An ellipse whose value is close to zero is almost a degenerate circle. The closer the eccentricity comes to zero, the more rounded gets the ellipse just like a circle. (Check picture, please)
b) Eccentricity =5
An eccentricity equal to 5 implies that the distance between the Foci has to be five (5) times larger than the half of its longer axis! In this case, there can't be an ellipse since the eccentricity must be between 0 and 1 in other words:
c) Eccentricity close to 1
In this case, the eccentricity close or equal to 1 We must conceive an ellipse whose measure for the half of the longer axis a and the distance between the Foci 'c' they both have the same size.
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
While the point-slope equation of a line is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
It is a point through which the line passes
In this case we have a line through:
(8,4) and (0,2)
Therefore, its slope is:
Its point-slope equation is:
Then, we manipulate the expression to find the equation of the slope-intersection form:
Therefore, the cut-off point with the y-axis is
