[Various plane curves]
Below is a list of special plane curves that are historically well known. (1) A cubic curve expressed by the equation y2 ( a - x ) = x3 ( a is a positive constant) is called a sprint line or a cissoid (Figure 5). Consider a circle whose diameter is the line segment connecting the origin O and point A( a ,0), and for a moving point Q on the circumference of this circle, let R be the intersection point of the line OQ and the line x = a . If you take a point P on the line segment OQ so that the lengths of OP and QR are equal, then P will draw this curve. …
