x^2+6y^2=15

x^{2} + 6 y^{2} = 15

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 15, b = \frac{5}{2}

Solution steps

x^{2} + 6 y^{2} = 15

Rewrite

x^{2} + 6 y^{2} = 15

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

\frac{( x - 0 ) ^{2}}{( 15 ) ^{2}} + \frac{( y - 0 ) ^{2}}{( \frac{5}{2} ) ^{2}} = 1

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 15, b = \frac{5}{2}

a > b

therefore

a

is semi-major axis and

b

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 0), a = 15, b = \frac{5}{2}
