((x+4)^2)/4+((y+2)^2)/(16)=1

\frac{( x + 4 ) ^{2}}{4} + \frac{( y + 2 ) ^{2}}{16} = 1

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

Solution steps

\frac{( x + 4 ) ^{2}}{4} + \frac{( y + 2 ) ^{2}}{16} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{( x + 4 ) ^{2}}{4} + \frac{( y + 2 ) ^{2}}{16} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

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

Therefore ellipse properties are:

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

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

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