The equation of the ellipse ( in the standard form ) :
x² / a² + y²/ b² = 1
a = 6, b = 5 ( from a graph )
Answer: D ) x² / 36 + y² / 25 = 1
Point is (4,7)
So y = 7 = 4^2 + c
c = 7 - 16
c = -9
I made a number line and drew it out -6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2 and i counted how many i had to move over to get to 2 from -6 and i got 8
This math is just too much and makes little to no sense.
