Answer

Ellipse

Work Step by Step

$\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{25}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{49}=1$ It is written as: $\frac{{{\left( x-0 \right)}^{2}}}{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}}+\frac{{{\left( y-0 \right)}^{2}}}{{{\left( 7 \right)}^{2}}}=1$ Compare the above equation with the standard form of an ellipse, $\frac{{{\left( x-h \right)}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}+\frac{{{\left( y-k \right)}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1$. Thus, it is an ellipse equation. The graph of the ellipse $\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{25}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{49}=1$ is given below:
