SOLUTION: Use these additional characteristics, to write the equation of the hyperbola: it has asymptotes y=2/3x and y=-2/3x a horizontal transverse axis, and one vertex is located at (

Question 46294: Use these additional characteristics, to write the equation of the hyperbola:
it has asymptotes y=2/3x and y=-2/3x
a horizontal transverse axis, and
one vertex is located at (-3,0).
Answer by Nate(3500) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Horizontal transverse axis means that the hyperbola is horizontal.
The slope for the asymptotes would be: b/a
b = 2
a = 3
The center is (0,0) because the asymptote's y-intercept is zero.
Vertices: (-3,0) and (3,0)
