The butterfly method. Multiply then divide
Multiply each term by a^2b^2:-
b^2y^2 + a^2x^2 = a^2b^2
subtract a^2x^2 from both sides
b^2y^2 = a^2b^2 - a^2x^2
Now divide both sides by b^2
y^2 = a^2 - a^2x^2 / b^2 = a^2 (1 - x^2/b^2)
take positive square root ( because y > 0)
y = a sqrt(1 - x^2/b^2)

You will have to type it into Microsoft word first, type a number or algebraic expression into a Word document. Press the "Ctrl," "Shift" and "=" keys on your keyboard to turn on the Superscript mode. Enter another number or expression signifying the exponent.
Hope this helps! :)
