(1) If O be a given point in the plane of a given conic, the mutual relationship between point and conic is marked, first and foremost, by the existence of a certain determinate straight line (which is always real) known as the polar of O with respect to the conic. Next following the polar in natural order of sequence, come a certain pair of determinate straight lines:
The single real pair of common chords of the conic and a point circle at O.
