Answer

Fill the blanks with: ... $25$ ... ... $+5$ ... $-5$ ... $(0,-5)$ ... $(0,5)$ ... $9$ ... ... $-3$ ... $+3$ ... $(0,-3)$ ... $(0,3)$

Work Step by Step

Standard form with center at $(h,k)$, major and minor axes of lengths $2a$ and $2b$ (where $a$ and $b$ are positive, and $a^{2} > b^{2}$): $\displaystyle \frac{(x-h)^{2}}{b^{2}}+ \displaystyle \frac{(y-k)^{2}}{a^{2}}=1$ (major axis parallel to the $y$-axis, vertical) --------- $\displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{25}=1.$ $a^{2}=25, $ $b^{2}=9.$ Fill the blanks with: ... $25$ ... ... $+5$ ... $-5$ ... $(0,-5)$ ... $(0,5)$ ... $9$ ... ... $-3$ ... $+3$ ... $(0,-3)$ ... $(0,3)$
