Conic Construction 1: Plot on graph paper the conic with focus (0, 0), directrix x = 6, and eccentricity e = 2. Put the x-axis near the middle of the graph paper and the y-axis just far enough from the left side to fit the directrix on the paper. Plot the points for which d1 from the directrix equals 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Connect the points with a smooth curve. Which conic section have you graphed?
