Question

The graph of an ellipse is shown. Which equation represents this ellipse? Picture of question is down below. Plz Helppppp.

Answer 1

Option (4)

Explanation:

From the figure attached,

Length of major axis 'a' is less than the length of minor axis 'b'.

Therefore, equation of the ellipse will be,

`(x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)=1`

Here, a = 2 and b = 5

Now we substitute the values of a and b in this formula,

`(x^2)/(2^2)+(y^2)/(5^2)=1`

`(x^2)/(4)+(y^2)/(25)=1`

Therefore, equation given in option (4) will be the answer.
