Hi,

 Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is %28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1+ 

where Pt(h,k) is the center. (a variable positioned to correspond with major axis)

 a and b  are the respective vertices distances from center

25x^2+15y^2-375 = 0 

25x^2+15y^2= 375    |Dividing each term by 375

x%5E2%2F15++%2B+y%5E2%2F25+=+1
