• A) \(\frac { ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } } { 36 } + \frac { ( y - 2 ) ^ { 2 } } { 9 } = 1\)
• B) \[\frac { ( x + 5 ) ^ { 2 } } { 9 } + \frac { ( y + 2 ) ^ { 2 } } { 36 } = 1\]
• C) \(\frac { ( x + 5 ) ^ { 2 } } { 36 } + \frac { ( y + 2 ) ^ { 2 } } { 9 } = 1\)
• D) \[\frac { ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } } { 9 } + \frac { ( y - 2 ) ^ { 2 } } { 36 } = 1\]
