Brief review of Cartesian System of Rectangular Coordinates

What does the equation \[\left( a-b \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{y}^{2}} \right)-2abx\text{ }=\text{ }0\] become if the origin is shifted to the point (ab / (a-b), 0) without rotation?

Solution: The above-given equation \[\left( a-b \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{y}^{2}} \right)-2abx\text{ }=\text{ }0\] can be rewritten into a new equation by replacing x by [X + ab / (a-b)]...

What does the equation \[{{\left( x-a \right)}^{~2}}+{{\left( y-b \right)}^{~2}}~=\text{ }{{r}^{2}}\]become when the axes are transferred to parallel axes through the point (a-c, b)?

Solution: We have the equation: \[{{\left( x-a \right)}^{~2}}+{{\left( y-b \right)}^{~2}}~=\text{ }{{r}^{2}}\] The above-given equation (x – a)2 + (y – b)2 = r2 can be re-written into a new equation...
