Equation is that of an ellipse with horizontal major axis.
Its standard form: , a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center.
For given ellipse:
center: (0,0)
b=6 (distance from center to end points of minor axis)
b^2=36
c=7 (distance from center to foci)
c^2=49
c^2=a^2-b^2
a^2=c^2+b^2=49+36=85
Equation of given ellipse:
