Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard form equation of an ellipse?

For a horizontal-major-axis ellipse centered at (h, k), the standard form is (x minus h) squared over a squared, plus (y minus k) squared over b squared, equals 1, where a and b are the semi-major and semi-minor axis lengths.

Why does this assume a horizontal major axis?

This is the standard, most common orientation for this kind of problem, with the two given vertices lying on a horizontal line through the center. A vertical-axis ellipse swaps which term uses a squared versus b squared.

How is this different from the Center of Ellipse Calculator?

Center of Ellipse finds only the center point. This calculator additionally computes both semi-axis lengths and assembles the complete standard-form equation from the vertex and co-vertex coordinates.
