Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Start with the given equation
The given equation is:
\[
4x^{2} + 25y^{2} = 100
\]
Step 2: Isolate the term containing \( y^{2} \)
Subtract \( 4x^{2} \) from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( y^{2} \):
\[
25y^{2} = 100 - 4x^{2}
\]
Step 3: Solve for \( y^{2} \)
Divide both sides of the equation by 25 to solve for \( y^{2} \):
\[
y^{2} = \frac{100 - 4x^{2}}{25}
\]
Step 4: Simplify the equation
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation:
\[
y^{2} = 4 - \frac{4}{25}x^{2}
\]
Final Answer
The correct answer is B. \( y^{2} = 4 - \frac{4}{25}x^{2} \)
