To solve this problem, we should create an equation using the given information. To do this, we should calculate the slope between the two points as if they were regular points, giving us:
change in y/change in x = (v-4)/(-6-0) = (v-4)/(-6)
Since we know that the slope is 2, we can set our calculated value for the slope of the line for the equation (v-4)/(-6) equal to 2, as shown below:
(v-4)/(-6) = 2
To solve this equation, we should multiply both sides of the equation by -6 to get rid of the denominator on the left side of the equation.
v-4 = -12
Next, we should add 4 to both sides of the equation to get the variable v alone on the left side of the equation, as shown below:
v = -8
Therefore, v =-8 is your answer.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
The answer to your question is
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Foci (-2, 2) (4, 2)
Major axis = 10
Process
1.- Plot the foci to determine if the ellipse is vertical or horizontal. See the picture below.
From the graph we conclude that it is a horizontal ellipse.
2.- Determine the foci axis (distance between the foci)
2c = 6
c = 6/2
c = 3
3.- Determine a
2a = 10
a = 10/2
a = 5
4.- Determine b using the Pythagorean theorem
a² = b² + c²
-Solve for b
b² = a² - c²
b² = 5² - 3²
b² = 25 - 9
b² = 16
b = 4
5.- Find the center (1, 2) From the graph, it is in the middle of the foci
6.- Find the equation of the ellipse
