Hey there!
1. To solve 9 x 5 , I could add the number 9 five times . . .
9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 45
9 x 5 = 45 <----
2. I would use the same strategy as the first one, except add the number 8 five times . . .
8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 40
8 x 5 = 40 <----
Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
<span>Points (1, 1), and (2, 2) are on a line which has a slope of 1
ok?
The only point that lies on this line is (3,3).

Let us assume then that the center is the origin. If the major axis is 18, then a = 9 and a^2=81. If the minor axis is 16, then b = 8 and b^2=64. Now you can write the equation. Remember that this ellipse is vertical and so a^2 goes under y^2
