Given: The vertices are at (-2, 0) and (2, 0). The conjugate axis&#039;s length is 6. The two vertices have the same y coordinate, therefore, the hyperbola is the horizontal transverse axis type. The standard equation for the horizontal transverse axis type is (x−h)2a2−(y−k)2b2=1 We know that the general form for the vertices of this type is: (h+a,k) and (h−a,k) comparing with vertices k=0 h+a=2 h−a=−2 Solve h=0,a=2 The length of the conjugate axis is equal to 2b 2b=6 b=3 Standard form (x−0)222+(y−02)32=1 x24+y29=1 General form 9x2+4y2=36 9x2+4y2−36=0
