1. What type of ellipse is pictured? 2. What are the coordinates of the center of the ellipse?

3. The value ‘a’ in the equation is the distance from the center to a vertex of an ellipse. (The point furthest from the center). What is ‘a’?

4. The value ‘b’ in the equation is the distance from the center to a co-vertex of an ellipse. (The point closest from the center). What is ‘b’?

5. Use your center (h, k) and values for ‘a’ and ‘b’ to find the equation for the ellipse.
