The other focus is (0,-3) and the value of c=3, the focal distance. As described with the center point and the foci, the major axis vertical. As given, then that "co-vertex" must be on the semi-minor axis and represents here, the value for b. b=2.

You have b and c. Now you can determine a. If you understand these values as related to the graph, you will find a triangle, right triangle with legs 3 and 2, and hypotenuse a. , so what is a?

Your standard form equation is based on
