In three classes that use Hyperbolas, they have never used this form of the equation. It runs conterintuitive to the ones I have used, which makes it very problematic. So I just keep guessing until I get it right rather than the exceptionally bad process of breaking my intuition to use the version of the formula you seem to favor.
