If the origin is the centre,the $X$-axis is the major axis,and $\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$ is the eccentricity of an ellipse which passes through $(-3, 1)$,then the equation of that ellipse is:

The ellipse $E_1: \frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$ is inscribed in a rectangle $R$ whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. Another ellipse $E_2$ passing through the point $(0,4)$ circumscribes the rectangle $R$. The eccentricity of the ellipse $E_2$ is

If the sum of the distances from the foci to the centre $O(0,0)$ of an ellipse is $8 \sqrt{6}$ units and the area of the smallest rectangle in which that ellipse is inscribed is $80$ sq. units,then the equation of such an ellipse is
