Answer by teishad(7)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x^2)/4^2 + (y^2)/7.5^2 = 1
that would be your equation but i would check and make sure that the number for up and down is really 15 because they usually dont have them as in between numbers. make sure its not 14 or 16
if its 14 it would be
(x^2)/4^2 + (y^2)/7^2 = 1
and if its 16 it would be
(x^2)/4^2 + (y^2)/8^2 = 1
feel free to email me if you have any more questions, i love these!!! =)
