You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are correct, \"b=1\" .
\n" ); document.write( "Also \"a\" is the distance from vertex (2, 1/2) to center (2,-1),
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=1%2F2-%28-1%29=3%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2F1%5E2%2By%5E2%2F%283%2F2%29%5E2=1\" or \"x%5E2%2F1%2By%5E2%2F%289%2F4%29=1\" would be the standard form,
\n" ); document.write( "but I think it looks prettier as
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B4y%5E2%2F9=1\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
