Explanation Given: The x -intercepts are ( ± 4 , 0 ) and y -intercepts are ( 0 , ± 2 ) . Concept: The equation of the ellipse with the centre at origin, endpoints of the major axis are ( ± a , 0 ) and foci at ( ± c , 0 ) is written as x 2 a 2 + y 2 b 2 = 1 , where a > b > 0 and c 2 = a 2 − b 2 . Major axis of this ellipse is on x axis. Calculation: It is given that x -intercepts or the end points of major axis are ( ± 4 , 0 ) and y -intercepts or the end points of minor axis are ( 0 , ± 2 ) It is observed that the x -intercept is greater than y -intercept. Therefore, the major axis of the ellipse is on x -axis. Now by comparing with the standard form, major axis a for the ellipse is identified as 4 and the value of b is identified as 2. It can be observed that a > b , with x as its major axis
