Work Step by Step

Given $y^2+14y+16x+33=0$ We can see that $a=0\\b=0\\c=1$ We will find the discriminant of the given equation $=b^2-4ac\\=0^2-4(0)(1)\\=0$ The conic is a hyperbola. To graph the hyperbola, first complete the square: $y^2+14y+16x+33=0\\y^2+14y=-16x-33\\(y^2+14y+49)-49=-16x-33\\(y+7)^2=-16x+16\\(y+7)^2=-16(x-1)$ From the equation, you can see that the vertex is at $(1,-7)$
