Question 89696: How would you write an equation in standard form for an ellipse with foci(5,0)and (-5,0) and y- intercepts of 7 and -7? Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! this ellipse is centered at the origin with the foci on the y-axis so the equation will be of the form
a is the semi-major axis, in this case a=7 ... c is the distance from center to focus, c=5
