Given ellipse has a vertical major axis. (y-coordinates of major axis change but x-coordinates do not)
Its standard form of equation: , a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center
y-coordinate of center=6 (midpoint of vertical major axis, (9+3)/2=12/2=6
x-coordinate of center=7
center:(7,6)
a=6 (distance from center to end points of major axis)
a^2=36
b=2 (distance from center to end points of minor axis)
b^2=4
