See graph

Work Step by Step

We are given the hyperbola: $(y-2)^2-(x+3)^2=5$ Bring the equation to the standard form: $\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1$ $\dfrac{(y-2)^2}{5}-\dfrac{(x+3)^2}{5}=1$ The transverse axis is parallel to the $y$-axis. Determine $h,k,a,b,c$: $h=-3$ $k=2$ $a^2=5\Rightarrow a=\sqrt {5}$ $b^2=5\Rightarrow b=\sqrt 5$ $c^2=a^2+b^2$ $c^2=5+5$ $c^2=10$ $c=\sqrt{10}$ Determine the coordinates of the vertices: $(h,k-a)=(-3,2-\sqrt 5)$ $(h,k+a)=(-3,2+\sqrt 5)$ Determine the coordinates of the foci: $(h,k-c)=(-3,2-\sqrt{10})$ $(h,k+c)=(-3,2+\sqrt{10})$ Determine the asymptotes: $y-k=\pm\dfrac{a}{b}(x-h)$ $y-2=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5}(x+3)$ $y-2=\pm (x+3)$ Graph the hyperbola:
