I assume you want the equation of the conic based on given data. For future submissions, you should state what you want from the tutor.

Standard form of equation for an ellipse with vertical major axis:
%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2=1, a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center
center: (-2,3)
length of vertical major axis=8=2a
a=4
a^2=16
length of minor axis=2=2b
b=1
b^2=1
Equation of given ellipse:
%28x%2B2%29%5E2%2B%28y-3%29%2F16=1
