The equation of the ellipse whose focus is (1, –1), the directrix the line x – y – 3 = 0 and eccentricity 1/2 is
A. 7x2 + 2xy + 7y2 – 10x + 10y + 7 = 0
B. 7x2 + 2xy + 7y2 + 7 = 0
C. 7x2 + 2xy + 7y2 + 10x – 10y – 7 = 0
D. none
Option (a) is correct.
Given that focus of the ellipse is S(1,-1)and the equation of directrix is x-y-3=0
Also, e=1/2
From definition of ellipse, for any point P (x,y) on the ellipse, we have SP=ePM, where
M is foot of the perpendicular from point P to the directrix.
7x2+7y2+2xy-10x+10y+7=0
