An ellipse is graphed. Which statements about the ellipse are true? Select three options.

The true statements are;

1) The center of the ellipse is at (-2, -5)

3) The covertices are at (-2, -4) and (-2, -6)

4) The distance between the center and each focus is 2·√6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph of the ellipse gives;

1) The location of the center of the ellipse = (-2, -5)

2) The location of the vertices of the ellipse = (-7, -5) and (3, -5)

The distance between the center (-2, -5) and each vertex, d, is given as follows;

d = -2 - (-7) = 5 and d = 3 - (-2) = 5

Therefore, the distance between the center (-2, -5) and each vertex is 5 units

3) The location of the covertices, given in the diagram are (-2, -4), and (-2, -6)

4) The coordinates of the focus of an ellipse = h - c, k

c = √(a² + b²)

Where, for the given ellipse, h = -2, k = -5, c = √(5² - 1²) = √(24) = 2·√6

∴ The location of the focus of the ellipse = (-2 - 2·√6, -5)

The distance between the center and each focus, d = -2 - (-2 - 2·√6) = 2·√6

5) The x-coordinate of the directrices of the ellipse = ± a/e

Where; a = 5

b² = a²·(1 - e²)

∴ e² = 1 - b²/a² = 1 - 1/25 = 24/25

e = 2·√6/5

The directrices = -2 ± 5/(2·√6/5) ≈ -2 ± 5.1

The distance between the center and the directrices ≈ 5.1 units

Therefore, the directrices are vertical lines approximately 5.1 units from the center

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
