Recall that the major axis is "a + a" or 2a, whilst the minor axis is "b + b" or 2b.

so if the major axis is 30, then a = 15, and if the minor one is 14, b = 7.

\bf \textit{ellipse, horizontal major axis}
\\\\
\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}+\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\
vertices\ ({{ h}}\pm a, {{ k}})
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we know that }
\begin{cases}
a=\frac{30}{2}\\
b=\frac{14}{2}\\
h=-9\\
k=-7
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{[x-(-9)]^2}{15^2}+\cfrac{[y-(-7)]^2}{7^2}=1
\\\\\\
\cfrac{(x+9)^2}{225}+\cfrac{(y+7)^2}{49}=1

Find the equation of line passing through points A (1, 3) and B (3, 7).
Sidana [21]

Solution:

To find the equation of line passing through points A (1, 3) and B (3, 7).

we know that, to derive the equation of a line we first need to calculate the slope of the line. Slope m of a line at points (x_{1} ,y_{1}) and (x_{2}, y_{2}) is given by - m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}.

Slope of the line at point A(1,3) and B(3,7)

m=\frac{7-3}{3-1}.

m=\frac{4}{2}.

m=2.

Equation of a line using a point and a slope , y-y_{1}= m(x-x_1)

y-3= 2(x-1)

y-3= 2x-2

y= 2x-2+3

y= 2x+1

The equation of line passing through points A (1, 3) and B (3, 7) : y= 2x+1
