49x2 + 9y2 - 196x + 36y - 209 = 0 is the general form of an ellipse. Write the equation of this conic section in standard form by filling in the appropriate values for each open response. Step 1: 49x2 - 196x + 9y2 + 36y =   Step 2: 49(x2 - 4x) + 9(y2 + y) =   Step 3: 49(x2 - 4x + ) + 9(y2 + y + ) =   + 49() + 9()   Step 4: 49(x - )2 + 9(y + )2 =   Step 5: (x - )2   (y + )2 +   = 1
