Definition of a Hyperbola
A hyperbola is the set of all points (x, y) in a plane, the difference of whose distances from two distinct fixed points (foci) is a positive constant.

Standard Form Equation of a Hyperbola
The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with center at (h, k) is
Horizontal
Vertical
The vertices are a units from the center, and the foci are c units from the center. c2 = a2 + b2.
