find the equation of the ellipse in general form with vertices at (,) and (,) with eccentricity of
the equation of the ellipse in general form:

The distance from the center to a vertex is the fixed value .
=> -> and
then

so far equation is:

The distance from the center to a vertex is the fixed value .
Since the vertices of the ellipse are (,) and (,) , and then
(,)=(,)

(,)=(,)
=> ,
and your equation is:
