Given vertices (2,-1) and (-16,-1) and endpoints of conjugate axis, (-7,5) and (-7,-7) what is the hyperbolas equation ?
***
hyperbola has a horizontal transverse axis.
Its standard form of equation: , (h,k)=coordinates of center
center: (-7,-1)
length of horizontal transverse axis=18=2a
a=9
a^2=81
length of conjugate axis=12=2b
b=6
b^2=36
equation:
