Question 91375: Find positive numbers M and N so that the ellipse
(x^2/M)+(y^2/N)=1
has center at the origin, major axis on the x-axis, major axis length 14, and minor axis length 10.
Thank you for your help, please be a detailed as possible I'm completely confused on how to do it from my book. This is not a question from the book, but from a worksheet.

Find positive numbers M and N so that the ellipse
(x^2/M)+(y^2/N)=1
has center at the origin, major axis on the x-axis, major axis length 14, and minor axis length 10.
---------------
M is 14^2 ; N is 10^2
