Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x^2+y^2-4 x+6 y=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given ellipse: \(4 x^2+9 y^2-16 x+54 y+61=0\) \(4(x^2-4x) + 9(y^2+6y) + 61 = 0\) \(4((x-2)^2-4) + 9((y+3)^2-9) + 61 = 0\) \(4(x-2)^2 - 16 + 9(y+3)^2 - 81 + 61 = 0\) \(4(x-2)^2 + 9(y+3)^2 = 36\) \(\frac{(x-2)^2}{9} + \frac{(y+3)^2}{4} = 1\) Center \((h,k) = (2,-3)\), \(a^2=9\),…
