- $$2 x ^ { 2 } + 5 y ^ { 2 } - 12 x + 60 y + 188 = 0$$

• A) \(\frac { ( x - 3 ) ^ { 2 } } { 2 } + \frac { ( y + 6 ) ^ { 2 } } { 5 } = 1\)
• center: \(( - 3,6 )\); foci: \(( - 1.3,6 ) , ( - 4.7,6 )\); vertices: \(( - 5.2,6 ) , ( - 0.8,6 )\)
• B) \(\frac { ( x - 3 ) ^ { 2 } } { 5 } + \frac { ( y + 6 ) ^ { 2 } } { 2 } = 1\)
