A vertical ellipse has a focus (,). It has a co-vertex of (, )
formula for ellipse a is:




co-vertex (,) and (,)
if one co-vertex of (, ), then =>
,

focus is at (,) and (,)
if one focus (,) , then
,
, ->since


the other one focus is at
(,)=(,)

The center is half way between, at (, )
since
and => =>->

other co-vertex is at (,)=(,)=(,)
find




and your equation is:
