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. \( y^{2} = 4 - \frac{4}{25}x^{2} \)
