Ellipse Standard Form Calculator FAQ
Answers to common questions about this calculator.
(x-h)^2/a^2 + (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1 with centre (h,k).
It lies along the variable with the larger denominator.
Points c from the centre along the major axis, where c squared is a squared minus b squared.
Yes, when a equals b.
