Find slopes of the asymptotes of the hyperbola with the equation
36 = 9x squared - 4y squared
**
rewrite given equation
9x^2-4y^2=36
divide by 36
x^2/4-y^2/9=1
This is a hyperbola with horizontal transverse axis.
Its standard form:
For given equation:
a^2=4
a=√4=2
b^2=9
b=√9=3
slopes of asymptotes for given hyperbola=±b/a=±3/2
