You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation of the hyperbola with foci (0, -2) and (0, 2) and vertices of (0,-1 ) and (0, 1). I am stuck on this one!!!!
-------
Plot the points and sketch the hyperpola parts.
---
Center is at (0,0)
c = 2
a = 1
----
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
4 - 1 = b^2
b^2 = 3
-----
Equation:
-(x^2/1) + (y^2/3) = 1
