How do you calculate 'b' in the equation of an ellipse?

b^2 = a^2 / c^2

b^2 = a^2 + c^2

b^2 = a^2 - c^2

b^2 = c^2 - a^2

What is the final equation of the ellipse given the center at (0, 5), a^2 = 25, and b^2 = 16?

(x-5)^2/25 + y^2/16 = 1

(x-5)^2/16 + y^2/25 = 1

x^2/16 + (y-5)^2/25 = 1

x^2/25 + (y-5)^2/16 = 1
