For two planets in a 2:1 mean motion resonance , where will their periastron and apastron points be?

hey ❕ here's your answer I think this is your correct answer..
when they enter a mean motion resonance. Using a 2:1 resonance, as low-mass inner planet and a low-mass outer planet being tugged by a Jupiter-mass planet in the middle. I know the orbits of both become increasingly elliptical but I don't know in which direction the ellipse becomes extended. I want to include images of the planets' in orbit, too, so I want my points of periastron and apastron to be realistic relative to the position of the planets in their orbits.
hope it helps you

The planets HD 82943c and b are in a 2 : 1 mean-motion resonance and are trapped in the neighborhood of a (0, 0) apsidal corotation.
