question 184

Multiple Choice

Find an equation for the ellipse described. Graph the equation.
-Foci at $( - 4 , - 1 )$ and $( 2 , - 1 )$ ; length of major axis is 10

• A) \(\frac{(x+2)^{2}}{25}+\frac{(y-1)^{2}}{16}=1\)
• B) \[\frac { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 25 } + \frac { ( y + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 16 } = 1\]
• D) \[\frac { ( y + 2 ) ^ { 2 } } { 25 } + \frac { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 16 } = 1 \quad \frac { ( x - 2 ) ^ { 2 } } { 25 } + \frac { ( x - 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 16 } = 1\]
