center at (6,5); focus at (11,5); ellipse passes through the point (6,8)
***
Give data shows that ellipse has a horizontal major axis.
Its standard form of equation:, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center.
For given problem:

plug in given point(6,8)on the ellipse




c=5 (distance from center to focus (6 to 11))
c^2=25=a^2-b^2
a^2=c^2+b^2=25+9=34
Equation of given ellipse:
