Ellipses http://gyazo.com/e897fc96e592ab1e5dcba825538b6d7e y^2/100 - x^2/16 = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not this time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

center is not \((0,0)\) find the center first

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

(1,2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is going to look like \[\frac{(x-1)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-2)^2}{b^2}=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need \(a\) and \(b\)

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

But wouldn't x and y be switched? Since the graph is going a different way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

So it's not like an ellipses that way.
