Hi

Find the standard equation of an ellipse with a vertices on the major axis at:

 (-1,2), (5,2) and a minor axis with a length of 2

 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.

 %28x-2%29%5E2%2F3%5E2+%2B+%28y-2%29%5E2%2F1%5E2+=+1

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