Answer:
(c) y^2/16 -(x -7)^2/9 = 1
Explanation:
The center, focus, and vertex are on a vertical line, so the hyperbola opens in the direction of the y-axis. The y-term will have the positive coefficient.
The vertex-center distance in the y-direction is 4, so the denominator of the y-term is 4^2 = 16. The denominator of the x-term is 5^2 -16 = 9, where 5 is the center-focus distance.
The equation is ...
y^2/16 -(x -7)^2/9 = 1
