4x^2+y^2+8x+4y-8=0

4 x^{2} + y^{2} + 8 x + 4 y - 8 = 0

(h, k) = (- 1, - 2), a = 2, b = 4

Solution steps

4 x^{2} + y^{2} + 8 x + 4 y - 8 = 0

Rewrite

4 x^{2} + y^{2} + 8 x + 4 y - 8 = 0

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

\frac{( x - ( - 1 ) ) ^{2}}{2 ^{2}} + \frac{( y - ( - 2 ) ) ^{2}}{4 ^{2}} = 1

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (- 1, - 2), a = 2, b = 4

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (- 1, - 2), b = 4, a = 2
