Hyperbola.

Circle
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2(x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2

Ellipses
(x - h)^2/a^2 + (y - k)^2/b^2 = 1(x−h)2a2+(y−k)2b2=1
(x - h)^2/b^2 + (y - k)^2/a^2 = 1(x−h)2b2+(y−k)2a2=1

Parabola
y - k = 4p(x - h)^2y−k=4p(x−h)2
x - h = 4p(y - k)^2x−h=4p(y−k)2

Hyperbola
(x - h)^2/a^2 - (y - k)^2/b^2 = 1(x−h)2a2−(y−k)2b2=1
(y - k)^2/a^2 - (x - h)^2/b^2 = 1(y−k)2a2−(x−h)2b2=1
