Hi
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.
9x^2+25y^2+18x-200y+184=0
9(x+1)^2 - 9*1 + 25(y-4)^2 -25*16 + 184 = 0
9(x+1)^2 + 25(y-4)^2 = 225
%28x%2B1%29%5E2%2F25+%2B+%28y-4%29%5E2%2F9+=+1
