the major axis in the ellipse is the vertical axis
***
Standard form of equation for an ellipse with horizontal major axis: a>b
Standard form of equation for an ellipse with vertical major axis: , a>b
Equation of given ellipse:
note that the larger denominator is under the y-term, so given ellipse has a vertical major axis.
