Answer

$\dfrac{x^2}{16}-\dfrac{y^2}{64}=1$ With horizontal traverse axis.

Work Step by Step

Endpoints: $(-4,0), (4, 0)$ and Asymptote: $ y=2x $ We are given that $ a=4$ Since $\dfrac{b}{a}=2 \implies b=8$ so, $ b^2=64$ Thus, the equation for hyperbola is: $\dfrac{x^2}{16}-\dfrac{y^2}{64}=1$ And the traverse axis is horizontal.
