    I prefer a more generic form:

    (y-a)(y-b) = (x-c)(x-d)(x-k)

    By varying terms on both sides or making a term as a constant, you get generalizations for conics etc.

    Dr Cook has been smashing out some excellent very digestible math content lately.

    Edit: Just realised this was posted in 2019.
