Graph : Center: Vertices: Foci: Equation Below:
\[\frac{(x+3)^2}{ 4 } + \frac{ (y-1)^2 }{ 25 } = 1\]
Can anyone help?
Did you lose your textbook? How come you're not able to do this?
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
Can you guide me through it? @Peter14
Which conic section is this?
Ellipse
Is the major axis horizontal or vertical?
Vertical
What is the center?
\[\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}=1\]
That is the equation of an ellipse whose center is (h,k) and whose major axis is vertical.
What is the center of your ellipse?
3, -1?
Notice that the center is (h,k) and both h and k follow a negative sign.
-3, -1? or would the 1 be positive because it's already negative?
