Case 1: If b=0, circle centre (0,0) and radius =|a|
Case 2: If a=0, circle centre (0,|b|/2) and radius =|b|/2
Case 3: If |a|<|b| and a ≠ 0, limacon with inner loop containing the origin
Case 4: If |a|>|b| and b ≠ 0, limacon with no inner loop
Case 5: If |a|=|b| and a ≠ 0, cardioids (heart-shaped)
Complicated to understand
But make it easier using GEOGEBRA
