\n" ); document.write( "Plot those four vertices.
\n" ); document.write( "Horizontal axis:: (-6,1) to (2,1) :: center at (-6+2)/2 = -2:: length = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Semi-major axis = 4
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Vertical axis:: (-2,0) to (-2,2) :: center at (0+2)/2 = 1:: length = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Semi-minor axis = 1
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Center of the ellipse:: (-2,1)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation::
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)^2/4^2 + (y-1)^2/1^2 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)^2/16 + (y-1)^2 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
