The equation of the curve is

[math]\displaystyle{ \, r = \frac{p}{1-\epsilon\cdot cos(\phi+\rho)}; }[/math]


 

The JavaScript code to produce this picture

<jsxgraph board="brd" width="600" height="500">
var brd = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jxgbox',{axis:true,originX:300,originY:250,unitX:25,unitY:25});
