For a horizontal ellipse:

     (x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1

     center (h, k)

     a ≥ b > 0

     vertices (h±a, k)

     length of major axis = 2a

     co-vertices (h, k±b)

     foci (h±c, k) where c²=a²-b²

vertices (-10, 3) and (8, 3)

center (-1, 3)

a = 9

b = 2

c = √(9²+2²)

= √85

foci (-1±√85, 3) = (-1-√85, 3) and (-1+√85, 3)
