:
A way to use standard form of an ellipse is . Your description is an ellipse in standard position, so h and k are both 0. Your description also makes a=4 and c=3, so your b^2 is . Be aware that this ellipse has major axis parallel or coinciding with the vertical coordinate axis, so "a" is in the denominator for the "y" rational expression.

The ellipse described is .
