Graph the ellipse. 16(x - 1)^2 + 9(y + 2)^2 = 144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide by 144 first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get \[\frac{(x-1)^2}{9}+\frac{(y+2)^2}{16}=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

center is \((1,-2)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and since the number under the \(y^2\) term is larger than the one under the \(x^2\) term you know it looks like this |dw:1354638211625:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much
