(x+5)^2 + 4(y-4)^2 = 16 original
\n" ); document.write( "((x+5)^2)/16 + ((y-4)^2)/4 = 1 divide by 16 to get the side to equal 1
\n" ); document.write( "the major axis is the highest value (16)^(1/2)
\n" ); document.write( "the major axis is 4 units long, and the major axis is horizontal
\n" ); document.write( "the minor axis, on the other hand, is the lower value (4)^(1/2)
\n" ); document.write( "the minor axis is 2 units long
\n" ); document.write( "the center is found by: ((x-h)^2)/a^2 + ((y-k)^2)/b^2 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "where a is the length of the minor axis and b is the length of the minor axis and (h,k) is the center
\n" ); document.write( "the center is (-5,4)
\n" ); document.write( "...................................................................
\n" ); document.write( "To Graph: go to the point (-5,4) and make points 4 units left and right of that point....also, go 2 units up and down from the center....connect the dots (excluding the center) to make an ellipse \n" ); document.write( "
