I have a difficult word problem involving conics and I don't even know where to begin
Pluto orbits the sun in an elliptical path the center of the sun is the focus of the ellipse. The eccentricity of the orbit is e = 0.249. The length of the major axis is about 79.0 astronomical units.
I need to find the equation for pluto's orbit around the sun.
The problem also says I can assume that the major axis is horizontal.
