Question
If the foci of an ellipse are $(-4,4)$ and $(6,4),$ then the coordinates of the center of the ellipse are____________$$\begin{array}{ll}{\text { (a) }(1,4)} & {\text { (b) }(4,1)} \\ {\text { (c) }(1,0)} & {\text { (d) }(5,4)}\end{array}$$
Step 1
Notice that the y-coordinates of the foci are the same, which means the center of the ellipse will also have the same y-coordinate, which is $4$. Show more…
