Standard form of equation for an ellipse with vertical major axis:
(x-h)^2/b^2+(y-k)^2/a^2=1, a>b, (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the center.
For given equation:
(x/5)^2+(y/9)^2=1
x^2/5^2+y^2/9^2=1
center(0,0)
a^2=9^2
a=9
vertices: (0,±a)=(0±9)=(0,-9) and (0,9) (end points of vertical major axis)
