This is the equation of a(n) hyperbola, the general form of which is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+-+%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "with center at (h, k) and whose transverse axis is parallel to the y-axis.
\n" ); document.write( "In this case, the center of the hyperbola is at (-2, 4)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
