\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From the coordinates of the center and the vertices/co-vertices, we can see that the center is at (3,2), the semi-major axis measures 6 (because the distance from (3,2) to (9,2) is 6) and the semi-minor axis measures 3 (because the distance from (3,2) to (3,5) is 3). Furthermore the major axis is parallel to the

-axis (because the line through (3,2) and (9,2) is horizontal).\r
