The foci of the hyperbola is (0,3) and (0,-3).

Explanation:

Given,

The equation of the hyperbola:
((x-6)^(2) )/(16) -((y+7)^(2) )/(9) =1

To find the foci of the given parabola

Formula

If the equation of the hyperbola:
((x-h)^(2) )/(a^(2) ) -((y-k)^(2) )/(b^(2) ) =1

The focus will be (0,±c) where c² = a²+b²

Now,

Here, a=3 and b=4

c² = 3²+4² = 25

or, c = ±5

Hence,

The foci of the hyperbola is (0,3) and (0,-3)
