Answer:

The coordinates of the center of the hyperbola are (1,-3)

Explanation:

Equation of a hyperbola:

The equation of a hyperbola with center
(x_0,y_0) is given by:


((x - x_0)^2)/(a^2) - ((y - y_0)^2)/(b^2) = 1

In this question, we have that:


-x_0 = -1 \rightarrow x_0 = 1


-y_0 = 3 \rightarrow y_0 = -3

The coordinates of the center of the hyperbola are (1,-3)
