Work Step by Step

$\frac{(x-2)^2}{4}+ (y-1)^2 =1$ This equation is of an ellipse. This equation was almost for a circle, if it wasn't for the denominator of 4 in the first expression. The center of the ellipse is at $(2,1)$. $x=0$ $\frac{(x-2)^2}{4}+ (y-1)^2 =1$ $\frac{(0-2)^2}{4}+ (y-1)^2 =1$ $\frac{(-2)^2}{4}+ (y-1)^2 =1$ $\frac{4}{4}+ (y-1)^2 =1$ $1 + (y-1)^2 =1$ $(y-1)^2=0$ $\sqrt {(y-1)^2} =\sqrt 0$ $y-1=0$ $y-1+1=0+1$ $y=1$ $(0,1)$ is also on the ellipse. $x=2$ $\frac{(x-2)^2}{4}+ (y-1)^2 =1$ $\frac{(2-2)^2}{4}+ (y-1)^2 =1$ $\frac{(0)^2}{4}+ (y-1)^2 =1$ $\frac{0}{4}+ (y-1)^2 =1$ $0 + (y-1)^2 =1$ $(y-1)^2=1$ $\sqrt {(y-1)^2} =\sqrt 1$ $y-1=±1$ $y-1=1$ $y-1+1=1+1$ $y=2$ $y-1=-1$ $y-1+1=-1+1$ $y=0$ $(2,0)$ and $(2,2)$ are also on the ellipse.
