• A) \(\quad \frac { ( x - 8 ) ^ { 2 } } { 8 } + \frac { ( y - 9 ) ^ { 2 } } { 7 } = 1\)
• B) \(\quad \frac { ( x - 8 ) ^ { 2 } } { 64 } + \frac { ( y - 9 ) ^ { 2 } } { 49 } = 1\)
• C) \(\quad \frac { ( x - 8 ) ^ { 2 } } { 49 } + \frac { ( y - 9 ) ^ { 2 } } { 49 } = 1\)
• D) \(\quad \frac { ( x - 8 ) ^ { 2 } } { 81 } + \frac { ( y - 9 ) ^ { 2 } } { 64 } = 1\)
• E)
• \[\frac { ( x - 8 ) ^ { 2 } } { 49 } + \frac { ( y - 9 ) ^ { 2 } } { 64 } = 1\]
