- An ellipse is the set of all points in the plane for which the ____ of the distances from two fixed points F1 and F2 is constant. The points F1 and F2 are called the ____ of the ellipse.arrow_forwardThe distance between point P(x,y) and the point (0,2) is 13 of the distance of point P from the line y=18. Find an equation in standard form of the ellipse on which point P lies.arrow_forward
