Vertices: (15, 1), (-1, 1); Endpoints of Conjugate Axis: (7, 7), (7, -5)

This is a hyperbola with branches opening right and left; the equation is of the form

(h,k) is the center: halfway between the two vertices, or the midpoint of the conjugate axis

a is the distance from the center to each vertex

b is the distance from the center to each end of the conjugate axis

With the given information, only simple calculations are needed to find h, k, a, and b and thus find the equation.

I leave it to you to do that.
