$\"9%28x%2B1%29%5E2%2B27%28y-1%29%5E2=81\"$ find center and axis which is parallel to major axis

\n" ); document.write( "from this we can see that center is at (-1,1)
\n" ); document.write( "Since the denomiator under the x quadratic term is larger than the denominator for the y quadratic term,
\n" ); document.write( "the major axis runs along the X direction, therefore the major axis is parallel to the X axis
