If the larger number is under x, then it is a horizontal ellipse. If it is under the y then it is vertical.

In horizotal ellipse-- x-axis ia major axis ,y-axis is minor axis - 2a>2b In vertical ellipse --- y axis is major axis, x-axis is minor axis --2b>2a.

The direction of ellipse is based on its transverse axis. If its along x axis, its horizontal ellipse and if the axis is along y axis, its vertical ellipse.

If major axis is vertical its vertical eclipse and if the major axis is horizontal is its horizontal eclipse.

Mathematics is not about numbers, equation, computation, or algorithms it is about UNDERISTANDING.

If major axis of ellipse is x axis or parallel to x axis it is called horizontal ellipse and if major axis of ellipse is y axis or parallel to y axis called vertical ellipse.

Same difference as in portrait and landscape. In simple terms, take an egg and let it lie freely on a table in front of you, you are seeing horizontal ellipse. Now when you keep the egg in an egg crate in front of you, you will see vertical ellipse

Whichever denominator is larger determines which variable is a (because a is always bigger since it is the major axis). If the larger number is under the x, then the ellipse is horizontal. If it is under the y then it is vertical.

Difference is of major and minor axis in horizontal major axis is 2a, while in vertical it is 2b.
