Answer 4

did you get anything yey?

Answer 5

Nope

Answer 6

They tell you the standard equation for an ellipse, center at (h,v)
\[\frac{ (x-h)^2 }{ a^2 }+\frac{ (y-v)^2 }{ b^2 }=1\]

Answer 7

@3mar

Answer 8

Well, I am here.

Answer 9

Your ellipse for this problem is... compare that to the standard form, the center is (h,k)
\[\large \frac{ (x+3)^2 }{ 9 }+\frac{ y^2 }{ 25 }=1\]
you can make it look more the same
\[\large \frac{ (x-(-3))^2 }{ 3^2 }+\frac{ (y-0)^2 }{ 5^2 }=1\]

Answer 10

center (h,k)=(-3 , 0), right?

Answer 11

right

Answer 12

@zarkam21

With DanJS, you are in good hands!

Thank you for good illustration, DanJS!

Answer 13

Thank you @3mar

Answer 14

Don't mention that!

Answer 15

the axis have to do with the values of 'a' and 'b'

'b' is the y direction, and 'a' is the x direction

Answer 16

Center (h,v)=(-3 , 0)
a = 3
b = 5
