Question

What are the asypmtotes of the hyperbola
(x-1)^(2)/(25)-(y-4)^(2)/(16)= ?

Answer 1

In general the asymptotes of a hyperbola are y = (b/a) and y = - (b/a).

Answer 2

sorry they are y=+/-(b/a)x

Answer 3

5y=24-4x and 5y=4x+16

Answer 4

Where did you come up with that equation?

Answer 5

y=(b/a)x and y=-(b/a)x are the asymptotes the the "general" hyperbola

Answer 6

but where did you pull the numbers from?

Answer 7

y-4=+/-(4/5)(x-1)

Answer 8

is that the answer?

Answer 9

yes.
