Find the standard form of the equation of the ellipse satisfying the following conditions: endpoints of major axis (-5, 4) and (3, 4); endpoints of minor axis (-1, 1) and (-1, 7). Graph this conic, marking the center and vertices.

Step 1
Find the distance between the points in the major axis
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\sqrt{\left(3-\left(-5\right)\right)^2+\left(4-4\right)^2} \\ =8 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2
Find the distance between the points in the minor axis
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\sqrt{\left(-1-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(7-1\right)^2} \\ =6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 3
