Question 421977: Choose the equation that best represents the ellipse with center (–5, –2), horizontal major axis of length 6, and minor axis of length 4.
(a) (x+5)^2/25 + (y+2)^2/4=1
(b) (x+5)^2/9 + (y+2)^2/4=1
(c)(x-5)^2/9 + (y-2)^2/4=1
(d) x^2/9 + y^2/4=1 Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi
Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is
where Pt(h,k) is the center and a and b are the respective distances the vertices are from center.
ellipse with center (–5, –2)and
"horizontal major axis" of length 6, and minor axis of length 4
