The problem for construction of straight lines, which are tangent to conics, is among the dual problems for constructing the common elements of two conics. For example, the problem for construction of a chordal straight line (a common chord for two conics) ~ the problem for construction of an intersection point for two conics’ common tangents. In this paper a new property of polar lines has been presented, constructive connection between polar lines and chordal straight lines has been indicated, and a new way for construction of two conics’ common chords has been given, taking into account the computer graphics possibilities. The construction of imaginary tangent lines to conic, traced from conic’s interior point, as well as the construction of common imaginary tangent lines to two conics, of which one lies inside another partially or thoroughly is considered. As you know, dual problems with two conics can be solved by converting them into two circles, followed by a reverse transition from the circles to the original conics. This method of solution provided some clarity in understanding the solution result. The procedure for transition from two conics to two circles then became itself the subject of research. As and when the methods for solving geometric problems is improved, the problems themselves are become more complex. When assuming the participation of imaginary images in complex geometry, it is necessary to abstract more and more. In this case, the perception of the obtained result’s geometric picture is exposed to difficulties. In this regard, the solution methods’ correctness and imaginary images’ visualization are becoming relevant. The paper’s main results have been illustrated by the example of the same pair of conics: a parabola and a circle. Other pairs of affine different conics (ellipse and hyperbola) have been considered in the paper as well in order to demonstrate the general properties of conics, appearing in investigated operations. Has been used a model of complex figures, incorporating two superimposed planes: the Euclidean plane for real figures, and the pseudo-Euclidean plane for imaginary algebraic figures and their imaginary complements.
