Equation of the ellipse: where and are the coordinates of the center, is semimajor axis length, and semiminor axis length
given:
foci (, ) and (, )

the center is midpoint between foci, and its coordinates will be at (,)= (,)=> and
the distance between the foci is equal to





substitute it in equation of elipse

.............use and to calculate





and your equation is:
