This is the equation of an hyperbola centered in the point
The equation of an hyperbola centered in
If the second member is
E.G.:
graph{x^2/4-y^2/9=1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
If the second member is
E.G.:
graph{x^2/4-y^2/9=-1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
The equation of an hyperbola centered in
So, our hyperbola is:
graph{(x+6)^2/81-(y+1)^2/16=1 [-20, 10, -20, 20]}
