I would prefer not to give lectures in mathematics in this forum.
I have another place to do that. However I must draw your attention
to the fact that exactly between  2 focuses is a center.A center of gravity
 if you remember some physics or a center of inversion if you prefer 
symmetry. consideration.

The problem however is that the figure is placed in a wrong place in a drawing 
area. To see it you can draw an ellipse in a center of a square Drawing Area 
and
you will see that it is displaced in positive direction in both X an Y. 
To do things simple enough for not a professional in maths make both axes
of an ellipse equal and get a circle. I hope it will convince you.
