find the equation of the ellipse with center (-2,3) major axis vertical; length of major axis is 4; and length of minor axis is 1
**
Standard form of equation for an ellipse with vertical major axis: , a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center.
For given problem:
given center: (-2,3)
given length of vertical major axis=4=2a
a=2
a^2=4
given length of minor axis=1=2b
b=1/2
b^2=1/4
Equation of given ellipse:
