the equation (y+5)^2/121+(x-9)^2/49=1 represents an ellipse. which point is the center of the ellipse?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(9,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of an ellipse can be represented as

[tex]\frac{(x-h)^{2} }{b^{2}} +\frac{(y-k)^{2}}{a^{2}} =1[/tex]

where (h,k) is the center.

In [tex]\frac{(y+5)^{2}}{121} +\frac{(x-9)^{2}}{49} =1[/tex]

We can see the h and k values are 9 and -5 respectively, so the center is (9,-5)

The center of the ellipse is ( -5,9)

What is an Ellipse ?

Ellipse is an oval shaped plane curve , it is drawn such that the sum of the distances of all the points from the two focal points is constant.

The equation of ellipse given is

(y+5)²/121+(x-9)²/49=1

The standard equation of ellipse with ( h,k) as center  is

[tex]\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} +\dfrac {(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1[/tex]

The given equation (y+5)²/121+(x-9)²/49=1 can be written as

(y+5)²/11² +(x-9)²/7²=1

On comparing the given and standard equation ,

h = -5 , k = 9

Therefore the center of the ellipse is ( -5,9)
