.... I kinda wanted someone to explain how they got the answer (:

dumbcow · Answer

the general equation for hyperbola:

$$\frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}} - \frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}} =1$$
center is (h,k)

I have one more question for you Mr. Cow.... 
you said that the formula is (x−h)^2/a2−(y−k)^2/b2=1
does this mean that if the formula is (x-2)^2/25 that h = 2?
