Ellipses
Example 2
Graph the following ellipse. Find its vertices, co-vertices and foci.
Step 1 . Write the equation in standard form.
Divide each side of the equation by 100 and simplify.
Step 2. Identify the vertices, co-vertices and foci.
Since the larger denominator is with the x variable, the major axis lies along the x-axis.
Step 3. Graph the ellipse.
