Answer:
The correct option is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
It can be rewritten as
.....(1)
The standard form of an ellipse is
....(2)
Where (h,k) is center of the ellipse.
If a>b, then the vertices of the ellipse are .
From (1) and (2) we get
Since a>b, therefore the vertices of the ellipse are
The vertices of the given ellipse are (10, –7) and (2, –7). Therefore the correct option is C.
