Explanation Given information: Vertices at ( 2 , 5 ) and ( 2 , − 1 ) ; c = 2 . Explanation: The ellipse has vertices at ( 2 , 5 ) and ( 2 , − 1 ) both lie on the line x = 2 , hence the major axis is parallel to the y -axis. The center of the ellipse is at midpoint of vertices ( 2 , 5 ) and ( 2 , − 1 ) . Therefore, the center of the ellipse is ( 2 + 2 2 , 5 − 1 2 ) = ( 2 , 2 ) . The center of the ellipse is at ( h , k ) = ( 2 , 2 ) , so h = 2 and k = 2 . The distance from the center ( 2 , 2 ) to the focus is c = 2 and the distance from the center ( 2 , 2 ) to the vertex ( 2 , 5 ) is a = 3 . Thus, b 2 = a 2 − c 2 = 3 2 − 2 2 = 5 . The equation of ellipse is; ( x − h ) 2 b 2 + ( y − k ) 2 a 2 = 1
