Solution

(2, 5)

Explanation:

The given equation can be written as:

(9x2 – 36x) + (5y2 – 50y) = 164

∴ 9(x2 – 4x + 4) + 5(y2 – 10y + 25) = 164 + 36 + 125

∴ 9(x – 2)2 + 5(y – 5)2 = 325

∴ `("x" - 2)^2/((325/9)) + ("y" - 5)^2/65` = 1

This is of the form `"X"^2/"a"^2 + "Y"^2/"b"^2` = 1, where X = x – 2, Y = y – 5.

∴ centre of the ellipse is given by

X = x – 2 = 0 and Y = y – 5 = 0

∴ x = 2, y = 5

∴ centre = (2, 5)
