This is easy. All you need to do is plug in the numbers in the equation for an ellipse! I am sure that if you open your math book, you can find the general equation for an ellipse. Can you type it out for me when you find it?

Our teacher haven't taught us that yet, I need help @Loser66

I think you're lying. Your teacher would not assign you something that you have not learned.

firejay5 · Answer

We discussed a little bit about them, but not that specific problem

abb0t · Answer

Of course they are going to be different, that is why they are assigned problems. Look to your notes and find equation of an ellipse!
