Hi,

%28%28x+-+h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2%29+%2B+%28%28y+-+k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2%29+=+1 Where (h.k) is the center.  

a and b the distance to the vertices from the center.

vertices (0,12) and (0,-12) and co-vertices (2,0) and (-2,0)

Center is Pt(0,0)

the equation of this ellipse

x+%5E2%2F4+%2B+y%5E2%2F144+=+1
