In the videos for conic sections on hyperboles, one can solve for asymptotes on shifting equations by using the center (0, 0) as the origin. When trying to bring this into the practice problems, it doesn't work out the same. It would be great to have a video including how to work out shifting centers the "hard way" that the practice hints show. Thanks :)
