    Since one vertex is given as (3,4), the other is at (3,-2).

    There are 6 units between the vertices. That means the center is at (3,1).

    c is the distance from the center to the foci. A and b are the lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axes.











    Unless you have a calcualtor that graphs conics, we must solve for y to graph.
