find center and axis which is parallel to major axis
--

(put in standard form)
from this we can see that center is at (-1,1)
Since the denomiator under the x quadratic term is larger than the denominator for the y quadratic term,
the major axis runs along the X direction, therefore the major axis is parallel to the X axis
