Question 1204680: For the hyperbola, determine the
a) coordinates of the center
b) directions and lengths of both axes
c) coordinates of the vertices
d) slopes of the asymptotes

I don’t know why this graph is confusing me. It could be the seemingly asymmetric look of the asymptotes. I don’t know how to trace a box in the center with asymptotes that appear slanted and the two parts of the hyperbola that appear different to me.

The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with center (,) and transverse axis on the -axis is

we know that the coordinates of the center are
(,)=(,)
and the vertices are
(,)=(,) and (,)=(,)
=>
since the transverse axis is horizontal, asymptote formula will be:


from graph we see that one asymptote passes through the origin (,) and (,)

slope is:

equation is:

the other asymptote passes through origin and point (,)
slope is:

equation is:

then, since ,
and your equation of hyperbola is:




For the hyperbola, determine the
a) coordinates of the center
(,)
b) directions and lengths of both axes
the transverse axis is horizontal

the length of the axes is and the length of conjugate axis is

c) coordinates of the vertices
(,) and (,)

d) slopes of the asymptotes

from graph we see that one asymptote passes through the origin (,) and (,)

slope is:

equation is:

the other asymptote passes through origin and point (,)
slope is:

equation is:
