SOLUTION: Write an equation for an ellipse if the endpoints of the major axis are at (1,6) and (1,-6) and the end points of the minor axis are at (5,0) and (-3,0)

Question 331970: Write an equation for an ellipse if the endpoints of the major axis are at (1,6) and (1,-6) and the end points of the minor axis are at (5,0) and (-3,0)
Answer by galactus(183) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The distance between the vertices of the minor axis is 5-(-3)=8
8/2=4, 4^2=16
The distance between the vertices of the major axis is 6-(-6)=12
12/2=6, 6^2=36
The center is at (1,0)
