Write an equation in standard form of the ellipse described. The center of the ellipse is the origin.
Major axis of length 16 units located on the y-axis and minor axis of length 12 units
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

y-semi-axis is 16/2 = 8 units long.


x-semi-axis is 12/2 = 6 units long.


With this given info, the ellipse equation is


     +  = 1.    ANSWER

Solved.
