Answer

$\dfrac{5(y-4)^{2}}{16}-\dfrac{5(x-2)^{2}}{64}=1$

Work Step by Step

Asymptotes are $y=3+1/2x, y=5-1/2x$ which gives $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{1}{2}$ $2a=b$ $a^2+(2a)^2=4^2$ $a=\frac{4}{\sqrt 5}$ and $b=\frac{8}{\sqrt 5}$ The equation of the hyperbola is $\dfrac{5(y-4)^{2}}{16}-\dfrac{5(x-2)^{2}}{64}=1$
