Find the equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions:Major axis on the x–axis and passes through the points (4, 3) and (6, 2).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Major axis is x axis
Let the equation of the ellipse be `x^2/(a^2)+y^2/(b^2)=1,(4,3)" and " (6,2)` lies on it
`16/(a^2)+9/(b^2)=1`......(1)
`36/(a^2)+4/(b^2)=1`......(2)
