Question

Check my work - http://prntscr.com/bdjpvr

I'm thinking it's

x=-4?

Answer 1

the minor axis = y. So despite the answers not saying y = .... it has to technically be x. But since x is the major axis, it has to be either x = -4 or x = 4?

Answer 2

try again

Answer 3

but this time sketch the ellipse

Answer 4

Well in theory, it should be 5 = b = minor axis.

but I don't think that's actually a choice. @alekos

Answer 5

start by finding the center of the ellipse

Answer 6

3,-4

Answer 7

good

that means that the axes are x = 3 and y = -4

Answer 8

doesn't that mean that my answer should be D?

Answer 9

the x-axis is the minor axis because the number under x^2 is smaller

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

the axes are x = 3 and y = -4

Answer 12

which answer choice matches?

Answer 13

oh the minor. right. that's x =3 .

Answer 14

great!
