Hi, 

hyperbola that has a center at (10,4), a focus at (15,4), and a vertex at (13,4)

Opens right and left,Distance of the vertices from center = 3  %28x-10%29%5E2%2F3%5E3+-+%28y-4%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1

 Distance of the foci from center = 5 = sqrt%289%2Bb%5E2%29, b = 4

%28x-10%29%5E2%2F3%5E3+-+%28y-4%29%5E2%2F4%5E2+=+1
