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).
Sincethe major axis is on the x-axis,the equation of the ellipse will be of the form
Theellipse passes through points (4, 3) and (6, 2). Hence,
Onsolving equations (2) and (3), we obtain a2= 52 and b2= 13.
Thus,the equation of the ellipse is.
