The eccentricity of a hyperbola is defined as e=c/a. find an equation with vertices (1,-3) and (-3,-3) and e=5/2

.

Step-by-step explanation:

If (α, β) are the coordinates of the center of the hyperbola, then its equation of the hyperbola is .

Now, the vertices of the hyperbola are given by (α ± a, β) ≡ (1,-3) and (-3,-3)

Hence, β = - 3 and α + a = 1 and α - a = -3

Now, solving those two equations of α and a we get,  

2α = - 2, ⇒ α = -1 and

a = 1 - α = 2.

Now, eccentricity of the hyperbola is given by {Since given}

Therefore, the equation of the given hyperbola will be
