You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. The standard form equation of an ellipse with a horizontal major axis with center at , vertices at , and co-vertices at is:
where
given: vertex at (,) and co-vertex at (, )
vertex (,) ; so and
co-vertex (,) ; so and
if than ...=>.. and
if , than .......or and
so, your equation is:
