an equation of the ellipse:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "center: (\"h\",\"k\")=(\"-4\",\"3\")\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "endpoint of minor axis (\"-+3\", \"3\")\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Each endpoint of the major axis is the vertex of the ellipse (plural: vertices), and each endpoint of the minor axis is a co-vertex of the ellipse. The center of an ellipse is the midpoint of both the major and minor axes.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "co-vertex of the ellipse is (\"-+3\", \"3\")
\n" ); document.write( "if so, then the other co-vertex of the ellipse is (\"-+5\", \"3\")
\n" ); document.write( "distance from the center to co-vertex is \"a\"=>\"a=1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a major axis of length \"10\": =>\"2b=10\"=>\"b=5\"\r
