AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a diagram showing the formation of conic sections including an ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola. Start by plotting the intersection of coordinate axes and a line, then construct an infinite cone based on these elements. Rotate and intersect the cone with planes to get the conic sections. Mark key points like foci and vertices, and use geometric tools such as midpoints, perpendicular lines, and angle bisectors to draw elements like tangents. Add auxiliary circles and spheres, then reflect the shapes to achieve symmetry and complete the illustration of conic section elements.
