Question

The equation of the ellipse, with axes parallel to the coordinate axes, whose eccentricity is 1/3 and foci are at (2, –2) and (2, 4) is

Solution

Correct option is

 

The centre of the ellipse is at the mid-point of its foci. So, coordinates of centre are (2, 1). 

Clearly, two foci lie on the line x = 2. So, major axis is parallel to y-axis. 

The distance between two foci is 6.   

.  

Now,  

     

   

Hence, the equation of the ellipse is
