Hi

9x^2+4y^2=36

 x%5E2%2F4+%2B+y%5E2%2F9+=+1

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 and a and b  are the respective vertices distances from center.

 this is an Ellipse:

 C(0,0) with lines of symmetry being the x-axis and y-axis
