Quadratics

Description

This example depicts an ellipse with its center in the fourth quadrant. The equation is of the form ((x - h)²/a²) + ((y - k)²/b²) = 1, where (h, k) represent the coordinates of the center. The ellipse is horizontally elongated, suggesting a > b. This example helps in understanding the transition between centered and fully translated ellipses.
