Write an equation for the ellipse with vertices (-2,0)(-2,-6)(-4,-3) and (0,-3)
***
Given ellipse has a vertical major axis.
Its standard form of equation:%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2=1, a>b, (h,k)=coordinates of the ceter.
..
center: (-2,-3)
a=3
a^2=9
b=2
b^2=4
equation:%28x%2B2%29%5E2%2F4%2B%28y%2B3%29%5E2%2F9=1
