Lesson 1.2.3 Ellipse (Session 3 of 3)
Eccentricity of an Ellipse
Ellipse 2: 81𝑥 $ = 81 − 𝑦 $
Math 5 | Page 1 of 3
Solution Converting the given to the standard form,
9(𝑥 $ − 4𝑥 ) + 5(𝑦 $ + 2𝑦 ) = 31
9(𝑥 $ − 2𝑥 + 1) + 5(𝑦 $ + 2𝑦 + 1) = 31 + 9 + 5
(𝑥 − 1)$ (𝑦 + 1)$
+ = 1.

1. Find the center, vertices, co-vertices, foci, the length of the mins
minor and major axes, and an equation for the principal axis.
Finally sketch the ellipse.
