\"%28x%2B4%29%5E2%2F81%2B%28y-1%29%5E2%2F36=1\" ->compare to \"%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and you see that \"h=-4\",\"k=1\",\"a=9\", and \"b=6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "recall: the length of the major axis is \"2a\" and the length of the minor axis is \"2b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "minor axis length is \"2b=12\"\r
