When given an equation of the form:
The negative y term indicates a horizontal transverse axis.
The vertices are
The foci are
With very little work, we can write the given equation:
In the form of equation [1]:
The negative y term indicates a horizontal transverse axis.
The vertices are
Do the calculation for
The foci are
