1. Write an equation of an ellipse in standard form with the center at the origin and with the given characteristics.
Vertex at (-5,0) and co-vertex at (0,4)
***
ellipse has a horizontal major axis
its standard form of equation: %28x-h%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1, a>b, (h,k)=center
center: (0,0)
a=5
a^2=25
b=4
b^2=16
equation: x%5E2%2F25%2By%5E2%2F16=1
