Parallel line means the same slope
（8-1）/(-17-a)=(1-5)/(a+2)
so a is 18

What are the coordinates of the center of the ellipse shown below?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Option D (7, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the general equation of an ellipse has the form:

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1$

Where the point (h, k) are the coordinates of the center of the ellipse

In this case the equation of the ellipse is:

$\frac{(x-7)^2}{4} + \frac{(y+3)^2}{16} = 1$

Then

$h=7\\\\k = -3$

So The coordinates of the center of the ellipse are (7, -3)
