 **
 Y^2-6y-4x^2-8x=95
 complete the square
 (y^2-6y+9)-4(x^2+2x+1)=95+9-4
 (y-3)^2-4(x+1)^2=100
 (y-3)^2/100-4(x+1)^2/25=1
 This is an equation of a hyperbola with vertical transverse axis of the standard form:
 (y-k)^2/a^2-(x-h)^2/b^2=1, (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the center.
 For given hyperbola:
 center: (-1,3)
 a^2=100
 a=10
 vertices=(-1,3±a)=(-1,3±10)=(-1,-7) and (-1,13)
 ..
 b^2=25
 b=5
 ..
 c^2=a^2+b^2=100+25=125
 c=√125≈11.18
 Foci=(-1,3±c)=(-1,3±√125)=(-1,3±11.18)= (-1,-8.18) and (-1,14.18)
 ..
 Asymptotes:
 Asymptotes are straight lines which go thru the center and have slopes=±a/b
 slopes=10/5=2
 Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
 y=2x+b
 solving for b using coordinates of center
 3=2*-1+b
 b=5
 equation: y=2x+5 (asymptote with slope>0)
 y=-2x+b
 3=-2*-1+b
 b=1
 equation: y=-2x+1(asymptote with slope<0)
 see graph below:
 y=±(100+4(x+1)^2)^.5+3
