For an ellipse, the idea is that the length and height must have different coefficients a and b, so that one side appears more stretched than the other.
Your question has 1x squared and 4 y squared, which means the shape is more stretched along x (see my drawing).
Hope this helps :)

Whereas coefficient of x squared is 1, dividing by 25 will give you 1/25.
The length and width will still be different, so it is an ellipse.
