Question

The graph of an ellipse is shown. Which equation represents this ellipse? Picture of question is down below. Plz Helppppp.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Length of major axis 'a' is less than the length of minor axis 'b'.

Therefore, equation of the ellipse will be,

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

Here, a = 2 and b = 5

Now we substitute the values of a and b in this formula,

$\frac{x^2}{2^2}+\frac{y^2}{5^2}=1$

$\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{25}=1$

Therefore, equation given in option (4) will be the answer.
