Fill the blank with ... $(-1,4)$ ...

Work Step by Step

Standard form with center at $(h,k)$, major and minor axes of lengths $2a$ and $2b$ (where $a$ and $b$ are positive, and $a^{2} > b^{2}$), major axis parallel to the x-axis, horizontal: $\displaystyle \frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}+ \displaystyle \frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ Center:$ (h, k)$ Vertices: $(h-a, k),\quad (h+a, k) $ --------- $\displaystyle \frac{(x-(-1))^{2}}{a^{2}}+ \displaystyle \frac{(y-4)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ $h=-1$ $k=4$ Fill the blank with ... $(-1,4)$ ...
