%28X%2B1%29%2F4%5E2%2BY%5E2=1

Major axis length, 4, as from abs%28sqrt%284%29%29+abs%28sqrt%284%29%29,
Minor axis length, 2.

Center is (-2,0).
Vertices are (-4,0), (0,0), (0,1), (0,-1).

Your textbook should show you how to understand the relationship among c, b, a, to help find the coordinates of the focus. Your sample equation has a=2 and b=1.
