The distance between a point P(x,y) and the point (5,0) is 5/3 of the distance between P and the line x=9/5
Write the hyperbola, in standard form, of all such points.
I have gotten that a^2=9 and that b^2=16. What I don't know though is how to correctly put that into standard form. Is it
( x^2 / 9 ) - ( y^2 / 16 ) = 1
or
( y^2 / 9 ) - ( x^2 / 16 ) = 1
