1) minor axis from (-5,-4) to (-1,-4); major axis from (-3,-8) to (-3,0)
2) x-intercepts + or - 4; y-intercepts + or - 6
2) x-intercepts + or - 4; y-intercepts + or - 6

(1) The minor axis is 4 units long, so the se4mi-minor axis is 2 units long. We also know that the center is at the mid-point of the minor axis, so center is (-3,-4), The major axis is 8 units, so the semi-major axis is 4. Thus, the ellipse is (x + 3)^2/2^2 + (y + 4)^2/4^2 = 1.
(2) The minor axis is from (-4,0) to (4,0), and the major axis is from (0,-6) to (0,6). Proceed as above.
