Work Step by Step

Given: $\frac{(x+2)^2}{16}+\frac{(y-2)^2}{36}=1$ Compare the given equation to the standard form of an equation of a circle. You can see that the graph is a circle with its center at $(h,k)=(-2,2)$ and $a=4,b=6$ Hence, the center of the circle is at $(-2,2)$. The vertices are at $(-2,8)$ and $(-2,-4)$ The co-vertices are at $(2,2)$ and $(-6,2)$
