How to graph an ellipse & determine important characteristics

The video tutorial explains how to graph an ellipse by identifying key components such as the center, vertices, co-vertices, and foci. It begins with determining a^2, b^2, and c^2 from the ellipse equation, then locates the center and major axis orientation. The tutorial continues with plotting the center, vertices, and major axis on a graph, followed by calculating and plotting the vertices and co-vertices. Finally, it identifies and approximates the foci, completing the graphing process.
