Find an equation for the ellipse.

Answer 2

And the center, from what i can see, (2, -1)

Answer 3

a=2, b=1, and center is at (2, -1)
(x-2)^2/4 + (y+1)^2/1 = 1

Answer 4

\[(x-2)^{2}/4+(y+1)^2/1\]

Answer 5

How'd you get a & b?

Answer 6

a is the distance from the center to the vertices (endpoints of the major axis)
b is the distance from the center to the covertices (endpoints of the minor axis)
