Given the endpoints of the minor axis and vertices find the equation of the ellipse

The video tutorial guides students through solving a geometry problem involving ellipses without a given formula. It explains how to plot points, differentiate between horizontal and vertical ellipses, and calculate the major and minor axes. The tutorial concludes with formulating the standard equation of an ellipse using the derived values.

Describe how to write the standard form of the equation for a horizontal ellipse.

What is the relationship between the distances of the vertices and the center of an ellipse?

Why is it unnecessary to find the values of 'X' and 'Y' when determining the equation of an ellipse?
