Question 1166895: For the given ellipse, find the principal axis, center, vertices, co-vertices, foci, length of the major axis and length of minor axis
5y^2+2x^2=10
(x+2)^2/25+(y+5)^2=1

becomes 





principal axis = x=axis  (y=0)
center = (0,0)
vertices = (±√5,0)
co-vertices = (0,±√2)
foci = (±√3,0)
length of the major axis = 2√5 
length of minor axis = 2√2

graph:


----------------------------




principal axis y=-5
center = (-2,-5)
vertices = (-7,-5), (3,-5)
co-vertices = (-2,-6), (-2,-4)
foci = (-2√(6)±2,-5)
length of the major axis = 10 
length of minor axis = 2

graph:
