Ellipse: Major Axis: Vertical Minor Axis: Horizontal

This document discusses the key properties and equations for ellipses. It defines that an ellipse has one major axis and one minor axis, and provides the standard equations used to find the foci, vertices, and co-vertices of an ellipse based on whether the major axis is horizontal or vertical. It also defines the symbols used to represent distances related to the ellipse's center, foci, vertices, and co-vertices.
