You can put this solution on YOUR website! Equation for ellipse with center (0,0) major axis length 6, minor axis length 2, and foci on the y-axis.
..
Standard form of equation for ellipse with vertical major axis:  , a>b, center:(0,0)
length of major axis=6=2a
a=3
a^2=9
length of minor axis=2=2b
b=1
b^2=1
Equation:
