Question 682157: Graph the ellipse
(x+3)^2/16 + (y-3)^2/4
Here is what I have for the info
Center: (-3,3)
vertex1: (1,3)
vertex2: (-7,3)
focus1: (-3+2sqrt3,3)
focus2: (-3-2sqrt3,3)
is this correct? and what does it look like on a graph?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Graph the ellipse
(x+3)^2/16 + (y-3)^2/4
Here is what I have for the info
Center: (-3,3)
vertex1: (1,3)
vertex2: (-7,3)
focus1: (-3+2sqrt3,3)
focus2: (-3-2sqrt3,3)
is this correct? and what does it look like on a graph?
------
Plot the center so you know where it is.
---
Plot vertex1 and vertex 2 to the left and right of the center.
---
Since the semi-minor axis is sqrt(4) = 2 the high and the
low point of the curve are at (-3,5) and (-3,1). Plot those points.
---
Draw your graph thru those points.
Cheers,
