The standard equation for an ellipse centered at the origin is [x2/a2] +[y2/b2] = 1
If a > b then the major axis is horizontal. Where b > a then the major axis is vertical. Note : If a = b then the curve is a circle.
When a > b then the minor axis is of length 2b (and the major axis is of length 2a).
Hope this helps as it is not clear just what your question is.
