Question

1. choose the best answer.

the ___ is the line through the vertices of an ellipse.
eccentricity
vertex
major axis
center

Explanation:

• Eccentricity: It is a measure of how "un - circular" an ellipse is, not a line.
• Vertex: A single point on the ellipse, not a line.
• Center: A single point (the mid - point of the major and minor axes), not a line.
• Major axis: By definition, the major axis is the line segment (and we can consider the line it lies on) that passes through the vertices of the ellipse.

Answer:

major axis
