SOLUTION: Please help me with this problem. I got 4(x-2)^2-9(y+1)^2=0 Is this Hyperbola? Can I write this in transformational form? I am not sure how I can put this into standard hyperbol

Question 1108997: Please help me with this problem.
I got 4(x-2)^2-9(y+1)^2=0 Is this Hyperbola?
Can I write this in transformational form? I am not sure how I can put this into standard hyperbola equation (x/a)^2-(y/b)^2=1.
Thank you.

The equation in the post


     -  = 0


IS NOT a hyperbola equation.


This equation describes two intersecting straight lines.


You CAN NOT transform it into the standard hyperbola equation form.
