A. 6
B. 18
C. 36
D. 12

Answer 1

would the length of the major axis be 12?

Answer 2

this?
\[\frac {(x+2)^2}{9}+\frac {(y-4)^2}{36}=1\]

Answer 3

yes! :)

Answer 4

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

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

Answer 5

oh!
sorry!
ya you are right, 12

Answer 6
