given:
foci ( , ), (,)
vertices ( ,), ( ,)
We can tell that it is a horizontal hyperbola.
The center point is (, ).
To find  , we'll count from the center to either vertex.
To find  , we'll count from the center to either focus.
then use
We have all our information: ,  , ,  . Since it's a horizontal hyperbola centered in origin, we'll choose that formula and substitute in our information.
