Standard form of equation for an ellipse with horizontal major axis: , (a>b), (h,k) = (x,y) coordinates of the center
For given problem:
center: (0,0)
length of horizontal major axis=10=2a
a=5
a^2=25
eccentricity=c/a=2/5
c=2a/5=10/5=2
c^2=4
c^2=a^2-b^2
b^2=a^2-c^2=25-4=21
Equation of given ellipse:
