Solution

Let the equation of the hyperbola be `x^2/"a"^2 - y^2/"b"^2` = 1  ...(1)

Length of conjugate axis = 2b = 10

∴ b = 5

One of the focus is (– ae, 0)

It is given to be (– 7, 0)

∴ ae = 7

b2 = a2(e2 – 1) = a2e2 – a2

∴ 52 = 72 – a2

∴ a2 = 49 – 25 = 24

∴ by (1), the equation of the hyperbola is `x^2/24 - y^2/25` = 1.
