Conjugate diameter

The locus AB of the midpoint of the chord parallel to the diameter DE and the diameter DE are mutually conjugate diameters
The line segment connecting any two points on the ellipse is called the chord, and the chord passing through the center of the ellipse is called the diameter. The locus AB of the midpoint of the chord parallel to the diameter DE and the diameter DE are mutually conjugate diameters. Similarly, the conjugate diameter of a hyperbola can be defined.

edit
An ellipse, whose center is O, passes through O and makes a diameter CD, then makes a parallel chord EF of CD, takes the midpoint M of EF, connects OM to get another straight diameter AB of the ellipse, then AB and CD are called a pair of conjugate diameters of the ellipse, and EF is the conjugate chord of the diameter AB. Therefore, any diameter of the ellipse must bisect its conjugate chord. Since the AB diameter above is arbitrarily chosen, there are countless pairs of conjugate diameters of the ellipse.
When a pair of conjugate diameters are perpendicular to each other, they are the major axis and minor axis of the ellipse.

brief introduction

Pass the ellipse E
( a > b >0) of string AC Is called the diameter of the ellipse. [1]
If P is an ellipse E Superior to A C Points, there are
If the slope product of the two diameters of the ellipse is
, we call these two diameters the conjugate diameters of the ellipse.
In particular, if the slope of one diameter is 0 and the slope of the other diameter does not exist, the two diameters are also called conjugate diameters. [1-2]
