To solve the problem of identifying the properties of hyperbolas, we need to analyze each given equation step by step. The general forms of hyperbolas are:
1. Vertical Hyperbola: \(\frac{(y - k)^2}{a^2} - \frac{(x - h)^2}{b^2} = 1\)
- Center: \((h, k)\)
- Vertices: \((h, k \pm a)\)
- Foci: \((h, k \pm c)\), where \(c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\)
- Opens: Up and down
2. Horizontal Hyperbola: \(\frac{(x - h)^2}{a^2} - \frac{(y - k)^2}{b^2} = 1\)
- Center: \((h, k)\)
- Vertices: \((h \pm a, k)\)
- Foci: \((h \pm c, k)\), where \(c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\)
- Opens: Left and right
