Write an equation of an ellipse in standard form with the center at the origin and with the given characteristics.

vertex at (–5, 0) and co-vertex at (0, 4)

5 answers

(x + 5)^2/25 + (y - 4)^2/16 = 1
1. A

7. A
the centre would be at (0,0) and a = 5, b = 4

my ellipse would be

x^2 / 25 + y^2 / 16 = 1

The robot's answer would have a centre at (-5, 4) and (-5,0) could NOT
be a vertex
