Hi

equation of the ellipse with vertices (0, -1) and (12, -1) and minor axis of length 6

 Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is %28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1+

where Pt(h,k) is the center and a and b are the respective vertices distances from center.



  C(6,-1)

  %28y%2B1%29%5E2%2F36+%2B+%28x-6%29%5E2%2F9+=+1
