@mocham You can use the rectangular form of the hyperbolic function with horizontal/vertical asymptotes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola#Rectangular_hyperbola_with_horizontal.2Fvertical_asymptotes_.28Cartesian_coordinates.29 It looks like h=-2 and k=-4: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28x%2B2%29%28y%2B4%29%3D1%2C-8%3Cx%3C8%2C-12%3Cy%3C4
