Answer

$ \displaystyle \frac{(x+1)^{2}}{1}-\frac{(y+1)^{2}}{1}=1$ New foci: $(-1, -1\pm\sqrt{2})$ New vertices: $(-1,0)$ and $(-1, -2)$ New center: $(-1,-1)$ New asymptotes: $y+1=\pm(x+1)$

Work Step by Step

Shift left by $1 \Rightarrow$ in the equation, replace $x$ with $x+1$ Shift down by $1 \Rightarrow$ in the equation, replace $y$ with $y+1$ New equation:$\displaystyle \quad \frac{(y+1)^{2}}{1}-\frac{(x+1)^{2}}{1}=1$ The hyperbola $\displaystyle \frac{y^{2}}{1}-\frac{x^{2}}{1}=1$ has the form for which: foci are on the y-axis, $\quad a=b=1$ Center-to-focus distance: $\quad c=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}$ Foci: $\quad (0, \pm c)=\quad (0, \pm\sqrt{2})$ Vertices: $\quad (0, \pm a)=\quad (0, \pm 1)$ Asymptotes: $\quad y=\displaystyle \pm\frac{a}{b}x\Rightarrow\quad y=\pm x$ The translations are such that $(x,y)\rightarrow(x',y')$, where $\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x'=x-1 & \text{... shift left}\\ y'=y-1 & \text{... shift down} \end{array}\right.$ New foci: $\quad (0-1,\pm\sqrt{2}-1)\Rightarrow\quad (-1, -1\pm\sqrt{2})$ New vertices: $\quad (0-1, \pm 1-1)\Rightarrow\quad$ $(-1,0)$ and $(-1, -2)$ New center: $\quad (0-1,0-1)\quad =(-1,-1)$ New asymptotes: $\quad$ (apply equation replacements as above) $y+1=\pm(x+1)$
