Write the equation of an ellipse with vertices (0, 12) and (0, -12) and co-vertices (2, 0) and (-2, 0).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The center of the ellipse would be (0,0). The semi-major axis is a = ) = 12 directed vertically.
The semi-minor axis is a = ) = 2 directed horizontally
The standard form of an ellipse equation is
= .
