Those tell you that a=10, , and center is (4,3).

The relationship among a, b, and c, is , meaning .

The standard form equation which you still need to finish, is:
.
Notice carefully how a and b are positioned. The MAJOR axis and vertices are vertical.


I KNOW I made a mistake there, but I will leave this solution up anyway. Maybe I will find the mistake...(Mistake found and corrected).
