Master Writing the equation of a hyperbola when the center is not at the origin

This video tutorial explains how to write the equation of a hyperbola when the center is not at the origin. It covers determining the center, identifying the transverse axis, and using given vertices and asymptotes to find the equation. The tutorial also demonstrates how to graph points and solve for unknown values in the equation, providing a comprehensive guide to understanding hyperbola equations with non-origin centers.
