Let $E_{1}: \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1, a > b$. Let $E_{2}$ be another ellipse such that it touches the end points of the major axis of $E_{1}$ and the foci of $E_{2}$ are the end points of the minor axis of $E_{1}$. If $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ have the same eccentricity $e$,then the value of $e$ is:

If $4x - 3y + k = 0$ touches the ellipse $5x^{2} + 9y^{2} = 45$,then $k$ is equal to

Assertion $(A)$: The length of the latus rectum of an ellipse is $4$. The focus and its corresponding directrix are respectively $(1, -2)$ and $3x + 4y - 15 = 0$. Then its eccentricity is $\frac{1}{2}$.
Reason $(R)$: The length of the perpendicular drawn from the focus of an ellipse to its corresponding directrix is $\frac{a(1 - e^2)}{e}$.
