Three steps to writing the equation of an ellipse

The video tutorial guides students through plotting points on a graph and understanding conic sections. It explains how to identify the center and values of A and B, and how to plug these into equations. The tutorial also covers determining the orientation of the major axis, whether horizontal or vertical, and how to use this information to solve problems related to conic sections.

Explain how to identify the orientation of an ellipse based on the given vertices or foci.

What should you do if you are only given A and C when working with conic sections?
