    How to find where an ellipse is centered

    My equation is x^2+(y^2/4)=1 I need to find where it is centered. I thought that from the original ellipse equation ((x - h)^2 / a^2 + (y - k)^2 / b^2 = 1) that the center is at (h,k). But in the options for my answers, (o,o) is not available. Am i missing something here?

    How do you complete the square when two variable are included?

    I solved it and came up with (x-2)^2+(y+5)^2=16 meaning the center is at (2,-5) and the radius=4. Is this what you came up with as well?

    How do you complete the square when two variable are included?

    I know how to complete the square in a basic x^2+(1/2)x+2=0. If i could just get a hint as to how to deal with the y variable, that would help

    How do you complete the square when two variable are included?

    Show that the equation x^2+y^2-4x+10y+13=0 represents a circle. Find the center and radius. This problem is to be turned in at the beginning of class
