The equation for a hyperbola is (x-h)/a - (y-k)/b = 1 Or (y-k)/a - (x-h)/b = 1 h represents the x value of the coordinate k value represents the y value of the coordinate together they represent a point, which is the center So (h,k) is (x,y)
The asymptote is y-k = +/- b/a (x-h) The transverse is the line that goes through the hyperbola.
