\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In this form, (h,k) is the center.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B14%29%5E2%2F6%5E2%2B%28y%2B17%29%5E2%2F5%5E2=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "h=-14 and k=-17, so center is at (-14,-17) \n" ); document.write( "
