… is part of … and … is part of

This problem is about parabolas, are about ellipses, are about hyperbolas.

$y^{2} - 4 y$ is part of $(y - 2)^{2} =______$ and $2 x^{2} + 12 x$ is part of $2 (x + 3)^{2} =______$ . Therefore $y^{2} - 4 y - 2 x^{2} - 12 x = 0$ gives the hyperbola $(y - 2)^{2} - 2 (x + 3)^{2} =______$ . Its center is \_\_\_\_\_\_ and it opens to the \_\_\_\_\_\_.
