identify the conic section given by 25X^2+64y^2=1600. describe the center and the intercepts and graph
***

divide by 1600

This is an equation of an ellipse with horizontal major axis with center at the origin (0,0)
Its standard form of equation:
For given problem:
a^2=64
a=8
x-intercepts: (-8,0) and (8,0)
..
b^2=25
b=5
y-intercepts: (0,-5) and (0,5)
see graph below:
y=(25-25x^2/64)^.5
