Projective Geometry 16 Finding A Conic (Quadratic Curve) Through 5 Points : Geometric Concstruction

A remarkable fact from projective geometry is that each conic section is completely defined by specifying 5 points on the curve. In this video we give a fast method for drawing a conic that meets 5 given points,which exploits Pascal's Theorem, and observe interesting shapes that can be made using this feature, together with the trace function.
