Table of Contents Slide 2 Hyperbola - Finding the Equation Summary of meanings of the constants: The vertices are a units from the center on the transverse axis. The center is at C(h, k). The foci are c units from the center on the transverse axis. The values of a, b, and c are related by the equation...
