Hi 
Note: 
 Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is   where Pt(h,k) is the center. 
 a and b  are the respective vertices distances from center and ± are the foci distances from center 
ellipse with x-intercepts (5, 0) and (-5, 0); y-intercepts (0, 3) and (0, -3)? 
 
 
See below descriptions of various conics 
_______________________________________________________________________ 
Standard Form of an Equation of a Circle is    
where Pt(h,k) is the center and r is the radius
 
 Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is   where Pt(h,k) is the center. 
 a and b  are the respective vertices distances from center and ± are the foci distances from center
 
Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening right and  left is: 
    where Pt(h,k) is a center  with vertices 'a' units right and left of center.
 
Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening up and down is: 
    where Pt(h,k) is a center  with vertices 'b' units up and down from center.
 
the vertex form of a parabola opening up or down,   where(h,k) is the vertex. 
The standard form is  , where  the focus is (h,k + p)
 
the vertex form of a parabola opening right or left,   where(h,k) is the vertex. 
The standard form is  , where  the focus is (h +p,k )
