$$\frac{x^2}{196}+\frac{y^2}{81}=1$$

We know the following equation for an ellipse centered at the origin: $$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$$ Where $(a,0)$ is the vertex and $(b,0)$ is the co-vertex. Thus, we find: $$\frac{x^2}{(14)^2}+\frac{y^2}{(-9)^2}=1$$ $$\frac{x^2}{196}+\frac{y^2}{81}=1$$
