\

The conic equation is \"\".

\

Since the coefficients of \"image\" and \"image\" are the same sign but unequal coefficients,

\

the equation represents an ellipse.

\

To change the expressions \"\" and \"\" into a perfect square trinomial,

\

add (half the x coefficient)² and add (half the y coefficient)² to each side

\

of the equation.

Graph:

\

Draw the coordinate plane.

\

Plot the center, vertices and foci of ellipse.

\

Then draw the ellipse, use the semi major axis length is 6 units and semi minor

\

axis length is 3.46 units.
