Begin to sketch these points to get a sense of the graph. The covertex given means that, from center of (0,0), value for b=8. The main vertices are on the x-axis. The given focus tells you, c=17. The other focus is (-17,0).
a, b, and c are related as , so . Substituting the values, .
The hyperbola equation is .
