find the equation of the ellipse whose eccentricity is 3/4 ,focuson the y axis and passing through the point (6,4)

General equation of ellipse with focus on y -axis is y2a2+x2b2= 1 (a2>b2)
And e = 1-b2a2
And the ellipse is passing through (6,4)
And b2 = a2 (1-e2 )
So putting the point ( 6,4) in general equation, we get 16/a+ 36/b2 = 1 (1)
So 16a2+36a2(1-916)=11a2(16 + 36(716)=1Or 16 + 36×167 = a26887=a2
And 36b2=1-166887=1-112688=576688So b2=36×688576 = 43
So the equation of the ellipse will be y2 /(688/7) + x2 / (43) = 1
