The ellipse $ 4x^2 + 9y^2 = 36$  and the hyperbola $ 4x^2 -y^2 = 4$  have the same foci and they intersect at right angles then the equation of the circle through the points of intersection of two conics is

Planet $M$ orbits around its sun, $S$, in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one of the foci. When $M$ is closest to $S$, it is $2\,unit$ away. When $M$ is farthest from $S$, it is $18\, unit$ away, then the equation of motion of planet $M$ around its sun $S$, assuming $S$ at the centre of the coordinate plane and the other focus lie on negative $y-$ axis, is
