Question 144338: hello
i have a question on the equation of an Ellipse
i have the equation of x^2-6x+y^2-12y+41=0
and i found out that the standard form was [(x-3)^2]/4+[(y-6)^2]/4 = 1
and i can't figure out if its horizontal or vertical
because the denominators are the same
is this an ellipse??
thank you for your help
i really appreciate it
i have a test
so please help me!
