Question

How does the numerical value of “e” change as the shape of the ellipse approaches a straight line? e being eccentricity

Answer 1

e=0 circle
e<0 ellipse
e>0 hyperbola
and as ellipse-->strght line
e-->infinity

Answer 2

so as it approaches a straight line the e gets biggger into infinity

Answer 3

At eccentricity = 0 we get a circle
For 0 < eccentricity < 1 we get an ellipse
for eccentricity = 1 we get a parabola
for eccentricity > 1 we get a hyperbola
for infinite eccentricity we get a line

Answer 4

sorry
above post had few mistakes in it

Answer 5

ok thanks
