Graph the equation of an ellipse with center at the origin and a vertical major axis

The video tutorial explains how to graph an ellipse by first identifying the general form and determining the larger values for the denominators. It covers the calculation of A, B, and C values, which are essential for identifying the major and minor axes. The tutorial also explains how to find the center of the ellipse and the importance of the major axis, which contains the vertices, foci, and center. Finally, it provides a step-by-step guide to graphing the ellipse, including plotting the vertices, foci, and co-vertices.
