This week's question comes form $2d$ analytic geometry, and deals more specifically with the coordinate equations of the hyperbola:
"In a given coordinate system $(x,y)$ the equation $y=\frac{a}{x}$, $a \in \mathbb{R}$ represents an hyperbola. Show that under a suitable change of coordinates i.e. under a suitable transformation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x',y')$ the same hyperbola becomes $x'^{2} - y'^{2}=2a$"

Waiting again for your thoughts, ideas and answers till next week!
