Conic standard form and Coefficients[] command
Answered
If you create a conic in input bar, a right click on it in Algebra view allows you to choose how to display its equation. One of the choices is
Equation ax^2 + bxy +cy^2 + dx + ey =f
The problem is when you use the Coefficients command, that displays the coefficients of the conic, using the form
ax^2 + by^2 + c +dxy + ex + fy = 0
It's not very intuitive to work with two different standard forms, especially because you cannot compare at a glance the equation and its coefficients.
Dear Sirs,
I'm here asking to consider the option to match the two forms used in display and in the Coefficients command.
Yours gratefully
S.

Sorry, we can't change either without breaking something :(
