The answer is the second one
If you want a fast explanation
You have to remember that the minus sign indicates which direction the hyperbole will follow, if the minus is on x, that indicates the hyperbole will be vertical, and if the minus is in y, then it'll be horizontal
If you check the vertices points those indicates the length of 2a thus thatll be 6
To get the center just use middle point equation and you'll get (1,3)
Just to know, a indicates the distance from the center to the vertices, b indicates how wide the hyperbole box is, and c indicates the distance from center to focis
A=3
B=?
C=6
We use Pythagoras so
Thus you get
With that data now you can get the equation
You know that below (y-3)^2 there should be a^2 so that means there will be the 9
And in the (x-1)^2 there should be b^2 so that means there will be the 27
PD. The 3 besides y, and 1 besides x represent the center
