Question

what is equation of ellipse?

Answer 1

The general equation of an ellipse is

$\frac{x^{2} }{ a^{2} } + \frac{ y^{2} }{ b^{2} } = 1$

where a and b denote semi major and semi minor axes

Answer 2

Answer:

The standard equation for an ellipse, x 2 / a 2 + y2 / b 2 = 1, represents an ellipse centered at the origin and with axes lying along the coordinate axes. �In general, an ellipse may be centered at any point, or have axes not parallel to the coordinate axes
