How do you find the minor axis of an ellipse?​

The minor axis is the line segment connecting the two co-vertices of the ellipse. If the co-vertices are at points (n,0) and (−n,0), then the length of the minor axis is 2n. The semi-minor axis is the distance from the center to one of the co-vertices and is half the length of the minor axis.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
