You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Vertices: (15, 1), (-1, 1); Endpoints of Conjugate Axis: (7, 7), (7, -5)
This is a hyperbola with branches opening right and left; the equation is of the form
(h,k) is the center: halfway between the two vertices, or the midpoint of the conjugate axis
a is the distance from the center to each vertex
b is the distance from the center to each end of the conjugate axis
With the given information, only simple calculations are needed to find h, k, a, and b and thus find the equation.
I leave it to you to do that.
