y^2 -2x^2 -16=0 Write the equation in standard form. State whether the graph of the equation is a parabola, circle, ellipse, or hyperbola .
\n" ); document.write( "y^2-2x^2=16
\n" ); document.write( "y^2/16-x^2/8=1
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation of a hyperbola with vertical transverse axis of the standard form:
\n" ); document.write( "(y-k)^2/a^2-(x-k)^2/b^2=1, (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the center. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
