To solve this question, we just need to evaluate our set of points in the standard form equation of a Hyperbola, and find the coefficients. This will give to us the equation for our Hyperbola. The standard form is
Let's start with the easier points, the x-intercepts (5, 0) and (-1, 0).
Since this hyperbola has two x-intercepts, we're dealing with a horizontal hyperbola, and the center is the midpoint between the x-intercepts.
The center coordinates are (2, 0), then, our equation is
To find the missing coefficients, we can just substitute the remaining points and solve the system for a and b. Our final equation is
