Question 1137060
.
<pre>

The minor axis is horizontal, parallel to x-axis (!);  

hence, the major axis is vertical, parallel to y-axis.


Major semi-axis is 5 units long;  minor semi-axis is 1 unit long.


The ellipse is taller than long.


The equation has the form


{{{(x-1)^2/1^2}}} + {{{(y-1)^2/5^2}}} = 1.
</pre>

Solved.
