The hyperbola is the curve at the boundary of the intersection of the conewith a cutting plane parallel to the cone's axis.
A conic section is a curve formed by the intersection of a plane with a cone (conical surface). If the section is parallel to the base of the cone, the conic section has a fixed diameter and is a circle. Any other plane that does not intersect the apex is either a parabola, a hyperbola, or an ellipse.
A hyperbola
They are both conic sections, meaning they can be obtained by the intersection of a plane and a cone. Equivalently, they can be written as an equation of degree 2.
