write an equation for the ellipse with vertices (-5,3), (15,3),(5,-2), and (5,8)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

How can an ellipse have 4 vertices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure, but that's what the question is asking

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I guess we have to figure out which ones are the co-vertices. Can you do that? It would be the two that are closest together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the covertices would be (5.,3)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

There would have to be two of them.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Graph those points and see which ones are closest together
