The General Equation of Conic Sections
Question 1 • Precalculus
Which graph represents 49x2 + 4y2 + 196x – 40y + 100 = 0?
Answer
A
On a coordinate plane, one part of a conic graph goes through (negative 1, 1), has a vertex at (0, negative 5), and goes through (negative 1, negative 12). The second part goes through (5, 1), has a vertex at (4, negative 6), and goes through (5, negative 12).
B
On a coordinate plane, one part of a conic graph goes through (negative 5, 12), has a vertex at (negative 4, 5), and goes through (negative 5, negative 2). The second part goes through (1, 12), has a vertex at (0, 5), and goes through (1, negative 2).
C
On a coordinate plane, an Ellipse has center (2, negative 5) and goes through (4, negative 5), (2, negative 12), (0, negative 5), and (2, 2).
D
