the major axis is 16 units long and parallel to the x-axis. the center is (5,4) and the minor axis is 9 units long
**
Standard form of equation for an ellipse with horizontal major axis: , a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of the center.
guven center: (5,4)
given length of horizontal major axis=16=2a
a=8
a^2=64
given length of minor axis=9=2b
b=9/2=4.5
b^2=20.25
Equation of given ellipse:
