Consider the attached ellipse. Let the sun be at the right focus. Then perihelion is at right vertex on the x-axis and aphelion is at the left vertex on the x-axis.
The distances:
- from perihelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a-c;
- from aphelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a+c.
Then
Add these two equations:
and subtract first equation from the second:
Note that 
thus
The equation for the planet's orbit is
Answer:
59.09%
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting:
x-5(x+1)=3x+2
Simplify the left side:
-4x-5=3x+2
Move all the terms with an x to the left:
-7x-5=2
Move all the terms without an x to the right:
-7x=7
Divide both sides by -7:
x = -1
Answer:
it is 1

Answer:
y = 2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by writing out the given equation.
-2x + y = -3
The goal is to isolate the variable y.
For this equation, all you need to do is add 2x to each side.
-2x + y + 2x = -3 + 2x
Therefore, the answer is y = 2x -3.
I don't know if you are are familiar with the equation y = mx + b, but here's a little refresher. m is the slope, or in this case 2. b is the y-intercept, or in this case -3.
The equation y = mx + b is slope intercept form, so if you know this, you should be able to write any equation in slope intercept form.
Hope this helps!
