Ellipse functions from points

[monokekie]

could anybody please help me with this question?
I am stuck on it since this morning...

find the ellipse function which passes through the points (1,-1) , (37/13 ,11/13) and (0 , 48/13).

ta!

I seriously cannot imagine this being assessable, so I wouldn't worry about it. And I don't really see an easy way of doing this, maybe I'll have another crack at it tomorrow =]

oh, and eventually i used the dumbest way to solve it and it turned out to be correct =_=;

Don't you need four points for an ellipse?

This would be a calculator question anyway. Plug in and chug away.
