Question 728768: Can you please help me put Vertices (-6,3), (-6,-23) and Foci (-6,-5), (-6,-15) into a standard form equation of an ellipse?
Answer by josgarithmetic(39620)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The foci give you a c value, and the vertices give you the a value. The b value comes from the fact about ellipses,  .
Also, the midpoint of either the foci or the vertices on the main axis give the center point of the ellipse.
With those facts, you can fill in the values for the standard form equation,
