axis ((x+8)^2)/(64)+((y-11)^2)/(36)=1

axis

semi - major axis a = 8, semi - minor axis b = 6

Solution steps

\frac{( x + 8 ) ^{2}}{64} + \frac{( y - 11 ) ^{2}}{36} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{( x + 8 ) ^{2}}{64} + \frac{( y - 11 ) ^{2}}{36} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

\frac{( x - ( - 8 ) ) ^{2}}{8 ^{2}} + \frac{( y - 11 ) ^{2}}{6 ^{2}} = 1

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (- 8, 11), a = 8, b = 6

a > b

therefore

a

is semi-major axis and

b

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (- 8, 11), a = 8, b = 6
