Answer

$\frac{x^2}{49}+\frac{y^2}{196}=1$

Work Step by Step

Major axis is vertical. The point $(0,14)$ is a vertice: $a=14$ The point $(-7,0)$ is one of the endpoints of the minor axis: $b=7$ Standard form when major axis is vertical: $\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}=1$ $\frac{x^2}{7^2}+\frac{y^2}{14^2}=1$ $\frac{x^2}{49}+\frac{y^2}{196}=1$
