Answer: 24

A hyperbola is the locus of a point in a plane which moves in the plane in such a way that the ratio of its distance from a fixed point in the same plane to its distance from a fixed line is always constant, which is always greater than unity.

the fixed point is called the focus and the fixed line is directrix and the ratio is the eccentricity.

The general equation for the vertical hyperbola is

            [ (y-k)^2 / a^2 ] – [ (x-h)^2 / b^2 ] = 1

The conjugate axis of the vertical hyperbola is y = k

Length of the conjugate axis  = 2b

According to the question k = 2, h = -1, a = 4, b = 12

Length of the conjugate axis = 2b = 2 * 12  = 24
