The question is most comfortably answered using knowledge of standard form for a hyperbola.
The subtraction is on the term, as indicated by the line containing the vertices.
Center is (2,-3).
.
c is how far from center to the focus;
.
The way that a, b, and c are related is .
, to be used just as that.
Fill the numeric information into standard form.
Check your textbook for discussion about the details; or also check the article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola
