Find the standard form of the equation of the ellipse with the given characteristics. Vertices: (0, 8), (10, 8); endpoints of the minor axis: (5, 10), (5, 6)
Added by Austin H.
Step 1
The midpoint of the major axis is the average of the x-coordinates of the vertices, which is (0 + 10) / 2 = 5 for the x-coordinate, and the y-coordinate remains the same at 8. Therefore, the center of the ellipse is (5, 8). Show more…
