Explanation:

Step1: Identify the major axis direction

The ellipse is vertical (longer along the y - axis).

Step2: Locate the vertices

The vertices are the highest and lowest points on the ellipse.
Looking at the graph, the highest point has coordinates \((0,9)\) and the lowest point has coordinates \((0, - 9)\)

Answer:
