Answer

The graph of $6x^2+y^2=36$

Work Step by Step

$6x^2+y^2=36$ $\frac{x^2}{6}+\frac{y^2}{36}=1$ $36\gt6$: Major axis is vertical. $a^2=36$ $a=6$ Vertices: $(0,±6)$ Also, when $y=0$: $\frac{x^2}{6}+\frac{0^2}{36}=1$ $x^2=6$ $x=±\sqrt 6$ It gives us the endpoints of the minor axis: $(±\sqrt 6,0)$
