since denominator of $\frac{x^{2}}{25}$ is larger than the denominator of $\frac{y^{2}}{9},$ the major axis is along the $x-$ axis.

Comparing the given equation with $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}$ $+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$ $=1,$ we get $a=5$ and $b=3$ . Also  $c=\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}=\sqrt{25-9}=4$

Therefore, the coordinates of the foci are $(-4,\,0)$ and $(4,\,0),$ vertices are $(-5,\,0)$ and $(5,\,0).$ Length of the major axis is $10$ units length of the minor axis $2b$ is $6$ units and the eccentricity is $\frac{4}{5}$ and latus rectum is $\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{18}{5}$.
