Question 1080390: Which of these descriptions of ellipses matches this equation? The ellipse is centered on the origin (0, 0).
y^2/64 + x^2/48 = 1
The ellipse has foci at (8, 0) and (-8, 0), and it has vertices at (4, 0) and (-4, 0).
The ellipse has foci at (0, 8) and (0, -8), and it has vertices at (0, 4) and (0, -4).
The ellipse has foci at (0, 4) and (0, -4), and it has vertices at (0, 8) and (0, -8).
The ellipse has foci at (4, 0) and (-4, 0), and it has vertices at (8, 0) and (-8, 0).

Which of these descriptions of ellipses matches this equation? The ellipse is centered on the origin (0, 0).
y^2/64 + x^2/48 = 1

The ellipse has foci at (8, 0) and (-8, 0), and it has vertices at (4, 0) and (-4, 0).

The ellipse has foci at (0, 8) and (0, -8), and it has vertices at (0, 4) and (0, -4).

The ellipse has foci at (0, 4) and (0, -4), and it has vertices at (0, 8) and (0, -8).    <<<---===  !!!

The ellipse has foci at (4, 0) and (-4, 0), and it has vertices at (8, 0) and (-8, 0).
