Where can I find good resources explaining conic sections?

Where can I find good resources explaining conic sections?

I'm looking for something that explains them simply or something that has
a lot of examples. The online course I'm taking doesn't explain them in
much detail and I haven't managed to find something that explains it
better. Mainly parabolas and hyperbolas. For parabolas, my course uses the
formula $(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)$, so while I did find a useful video on
KhanAcademy, on the subject, he uses a different formula and that just
left me more confused.
