Equation of a hyperbola, since the hyperbola has it axis along the x-axis
where (, ) is the center and
= semi-major axis
= semi-minor axis
if a center at (, ), means and , so we have

it has minor axis length , so
if vertices along the major axis at (, ) and (,)=> has major axis length (distance from to ), so major axis
and, your equation is:
