find the equation of both asymptotes of \[\frac{(x-2)^2}{4}-\frac{(y+3)^2}{9} = 1\] and tell me how you did it :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for hyperbolas, the equation for the asymptotes is: y - k = + (b/a)(x - h)

see this page on hyperbolas (it gives a good explanation) http://www.purplemath.com/modules/hyperbola.htm

rokay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the asymptotes are y = +- a/b ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh and then x.
