The given hyperbola is a vertical hyperbola, with centre (h,k) =(1,-2) , and vertices are (1,-6),(1,2).

So we have h =1, k =-2, and k+a =2

That gives a = 4

And the equation of asymptotes are


y=-(4)/(3)x-(2)/(3),(4)/(3)x- (2)/(3)=\pm(4)/(3)(x-1)}+2

Therefore


(a)/(b) =(4)/(3)

Substituting the value of a and solving for b


b=3

Required equation is


((y+2)^2)/(9) -((x-1)^2)/(16) =1
