Step-by-step explanation

The standart form


((x-h)^2)/(a^2)+((y-k)^2)/(b^2)=1

h and k represents the center of the ellipse, in this case.

The center of the ellipse is the point (0, 0)

a represents the distance between the center and the vertex, in this case

The value for a is: 9

b represents the distance between the center and the co-vertex, in this case

The value for b is: 3

Answer

The center of the ellipse is the point (0, 0)

The value for a is: 9

The value for b is: 3
