Sorry but

-%28x%2F6%29%5E2+-%28y%2F6%29%5E2+=+1

is not the equation of a hyperbola.  Both terms on the left
cannot be negative in the equation of a hyperbola. One of 
those terms on the left must be positive and the other 
negative.  Please correct and repost the problem, being 
very careful to get the signs right.
