2. Find the Equation of the Ellipse with eccentricity 4/5, and end of the minor axis at (-6,0), and Center at the Origin. Write the answer in Ax2+ By=C form. I got center (0, 0) Minor axix: (-6,0) Eccentricity: 4/5 Which means: c/a c = 4 a=5 b=  c= sqrt a2-b2  3=sqrt 52 – b2  I Square both sides to get 9 = 25 –b2 b2=16  sqrt  b=4. Now how can I write it in that form?? Am I at least close?
