What This Question Tests

This question tests the ability to use the parametric form of an ellipse, the midpoint formula, and eliminate the parameter to find the equation of the locus.

Concepts Tested

Equation of an ellipseParametric form of ellipseMidpoint formulaLocus of a point

Formulas Used

xยฒ/aยฒ + yยฒ/bยฒ = 1 (ellipse)

x = (xโ‚+xโ‚‚)/2, y = (yโ‚+yโ‚‚)/2 (midpoint)
