the eccentricity of ellipse (x-3)(rasied to 2)+(y-4)(raised to 2)=y(raised to 2)/9

Dear Anapurna,

First of all convert the given equation into standard form,

The eccentricy of an ellipse is a measure of how nearly circular the ellipse. Eccentricity is found by the following formula

eccentricity = c/a

where c is the distance from the center to the focus of the ellipse

a is the distance from the center to a vertex

Best Of luck
