by shifting it left 1 unit and upward 2 units.
E.g. 1—Sketching the Graph of a Shifted Ellipse
(2, 0) → (2 – 1, 0 + 2) = (1, 2)
(–2, 0) → (–2 – 1, 0 + 2) = (–3, 2)
(0, 3) → (0 – 1, 3 + 2) = (–1, 5)
(0, –3) → (0 – 1, –3 + 2) = (–1, –1)
E.g. 1—Sketching the Graph of a Shifted Ellipse
• As a2 = 9 and b2 = 4, we have c2 = 9 – 4 = 5.
• Thus, c = 5 .
• So, the foci are (0, ± 5 )

• The foci of the shifted ellipse are:
x2 – 4x = 8y – 28
x2 – 4x + 4 = 8y – 28 + 4
(x – 2)2 = 8y – 24
(x – 2)2 = 8(y – 3)
Since 4p = 8, we have p = 2.

• For this to fit the form of the equation of
a hyperbola, we would need a nonzero
constant to the right of the equal sign.
