General Equation and Graph of Hyperbola with:
center (-3,2) transverse axis is 6
Latus Rectum is 8, the focus is Horizontal.
***
Standard form of equation for a hyperbola with horizontal transverse axis and center at (-3,2):

length of transverse axis=6= 2a
a=3
a^2=9
..
latus rectum=2b^2/a
2b^2/a=8
2b^2=8a
b^2=4a
b^2=4*3=12
..
Equation:
