\n" ); document.write( "i have the equation of x^2-6x+y^2-12y+41=0
\n" ); document.write( "and i found out that the standard form was [(x-3)^2]/4+[(y-6)^2]/4 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "and i can't figure out if its horizontal or vertical
\n" ); document.write( "because the denominators are the same
\n" ); document.write( "is this an ellipse?? \r
