The point slope form of the equation is y-4 = 3/5 (x-2)
the standard form for a horizontal ellipse is
X^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1
Substitute 54 for b and and use (8,18) as the
point to find a
x=8
y=18
8^2/a^2 + 18^2/54^2 =1
64/a^2 + 324/2916 = 1
324/2916 reduces to 1/9
64/a^2 + 1/9 = 1
64/a^2= 1-1/9
64/a^2 = 8/9
64*9/8 = a^2
576/8 = 72
A^2 = 72
A = square root(72) = 8.485
So formula
would be x^2/72 + y^2/2916 =1
100,000ths place. You are welcome
Answer:
subtract 7 from both sides
2x < 7- 7
subtract 7 from 7 to get 0
2x < 0
product of two numbers is < 0 if one is > 0 and the other is < 0. since 2> 0, must be < 0.
x < 0
You need to multiply the two numbers. Or you can use long addition.
