e/Five points determine a conic

New Query

Information
has glosseng: In geometry, just as two (distinct) points determine a line (a degree-1 plane curve), five points determine a conic (a degree-2 plane curve). There are additional subtleties for conics that do not exist for lines, and thus the statement and its proof for conics are both more technical than for lines.
lexicalizationeng: five points determine a conic
instance of(noun) (geometry) a curve generated by the intersection of a plane and a circular cone
conic, conic section
