Did you lose your textbook? How come you're not able to do this?

anonymous · Answer

I missed this topic because the teacher went over it for 5 minutes and didn't mention it again.. && I need to have this section done by tonight. @Hero

mertsj · Answer

Which conic section is this?

anonymous · Answer

Ellipse

mertsj · Answer

Is the major axis horizontal or vertical?

anonymous · Answer

Vertical

mertsj · Answer

What is the center?

mertsj · Answer

$$\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}=1$$

mertsj · Answer

That is the equation of an ellipse whose center is (h,k) and whose major axis is vertical.

mertsj · Answer

What is the center of your ellipse?

anonymous · Answer

3, -1?

mertsj · Answer

Notice that the center is (h,k) and both h and k follow a negative sign.

anonymous · Answer

-3, -1? or would the 1 be positive because it's already negative?
