Jan 20, 2010 at 20:13 comment added Daniel I have rewritten the question for clarity.
Jan 20, 2010 at 20:11 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez Yes. The details depend on how you describe the ellipse, but but most sane choices this reduces to the solution of a quadratic equation. This is mostly not MO-material, really. The faq lists at mathoverflow.net/faq#whatnot several other places where you will surely get help.
