Write an equation for an ellipse with the given characteristics: length of major axis = 12; foci at (-2, 1) (-2, -9)

(x−3)225+(y+6)29=1\frac{\left(x-3\right)^2}{25}+\frac{\left(y+6\right)^2}{9}=1  

(x+4)211+(y+2)264=1\frac{\left(x+4\right)^2}{11}+\frac{\left(y+2\right)^2}{64}=1

(x+2)211+(y+4)236=1\frac{\left(x+2\right)^2}{11}+\frac{\left(y+4\right)^2}{36}=1

(x−2)225−(y+4)236=1\frac{\left(x-2\right)^2}{25}-\frac{\left(y+4\right)^2}{36}=1

Write an equation for an ellipse with the given characteristics: vertices at (7, -4) (-3, -4); foci at (6, -4) (-2, -4)

(x−2)225+(y+4)29=1\frac{\left(x-2\right)^2}{25}+\frac{\left(y+4\right)^2}{9}=1  

(x−2)216+(y−4)29=1\frac{\left(x-2\right)^2}{16}+\frac{\left(y-4\right)^2}{9}=1

(x−2)225−(y+4)29=1\frac{\left(x-2\right)^2}{25}-\frac{\left(y+4\right)^2}{9}=1

(x+2)29+(y+4)225=1\frac{\left(x+2\right)^2}{9}+\frac{\left(y+4\right)^2}{25}=1
