Hey, I'm in algebra 2 and we are doing hyperbolas. I'm confused about a problem that says to find the equation for a hyperbola with foci at (0,0) and (0,4) that passes through the point (12,9). I'm pretty sure the center would be (0,2), but I don't know what to do after that,

To learn how to find the equation from the given information, try online lessons, such as are listed here.

After you have studied at least two lessons from the link, please attempt the exercise. If you are still stuck, please reply showing your thoughts and efforts so far. Thank you! ;)
