Find the equations of the transverse axis and conjugate axis of the hyperbola $16x^2 - y^2 + 64x + 4y + 44 = 0$.

Let $S$ denote the locus of the point of intersection of the pair of lines $4x - 3y = 12\alpha$ and $4\alpha x + 3\alpha y = 12$, where $\alpha$ varies over the set of non-zero real numbers. Let $T$ be the tangent to $S$ passing through the points $(p, 0)$ and $(0, q)$, with $q > 0$, and parallel to the line $4x - \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}y = 0$. Then the value of $pq$ is (in $\sqrt{2}$)

$A$ hyperbola passes through a focus of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{169}+\frac{y^2}{25}=1$. Its transverse and conjugate axes coincide respectively with the major and minor axes of the ellipse. The product of their eccentricities is $1$. Then,the equation of the hyperbola is
