Cartesian equation:
x%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2By%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1
if vertex at (5,0)..........>......vertices are at (5,0) and
(-5,0)
if co-vertx at (0,-3).........>......co-vertices are at (0,-3) and (0,3)
a: semi-major axis length
major axis length 2a=10.......>......a=5
b: semi-minor axis length
minor axis length 2b=6.................>......b=3

x%5E2%2F5%5E2%2By%5E2%2F3%5E2+=+1
x%5E2%2F25%2By%5E2%2F9+=+1
Integer solutions:
x = ±5, y = 0
x = 0, y = ±3
