Finding the Vertices of an Ellipse Given Its Foci and a Point on the Ellipse
The question is as follows:
The focal points of an ellipse are
(12,0)
(
and
(−12,0)
(
, and the point
(12,7)
(
is on the ellipse. Find the points where this curve intersects the coordinate axes.
I know that the center of the ellipse would be
(0,0
(
) because that is the midpoint of the foci. However, I am not sure as to how this information will help me in finding the intersections on the coordinate axes (or the vertices). Any help will be greatly appreciated.
