- $$4 x ^ { 2 } + 16 y ^ { 2 } - 40 x + 96 y + 180 = 0$$

• A) \(\frac { ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } } { 16 } + \frac { ( y + 3 ) ^ { 2 } } { 4 } = 1\)
• center: \(( - 5,3 )\); vertices: \(( - 9,3 ) , ( - 1,3 )\)
• B) \(\frac { ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } } { 16 } + \frac { ( y + 3 ) ^ { 2 } } { 4 } = 1\)
• center: \(( 5 , - 3 )\); vertices: \(( 1 , - 3 ) , ( 9 , - 3 )\)
• C) \(\frac { ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } } { 4 } + \frac { ( y + 3 ) ^ { 2 } } { 16 } = 1\)
• center: \(( - 5,3 )\); vertices: \(( - 5,1 ) , ( - 5,5 )\)
• D) \(\frac { ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } } { 4 } + \frac { ( y + 3 ) ^ { 2 } } { 16 } = 1\)
