Write the equations of the two asymptotes
\[(\left( y+3^{} \right)^{2}\div9)- (\left( x-2^{} \right)^{2}\div16) = 1\]
i think rhs wud be 0 ns lhs is same
this is a hyperbola with center (-3,2) the slopes of the asymptotes will be \(\large \pm \frac{b}{a} \) where b=4, a=3. to get the equation use these slopes and the center to get point-slope form.
Slope = rise/run m = 3/4 y = ±3/4x + b -3 = ±3/4(2) + b b = -3/2 and b = -9/2 y = 3/4x - 9/2 y = -3/4x - 3/2
((y+3)2÷9)−((x−2)2÷16)=0
our slopes seem to differ @Calcmathlete ....
lemme double check mine...
Really? I always remembered it as rise/run because people taught it differently all the time.
3x+4y+6=0 -3x+4y+18=0
my bad... slope should be \(\large \pm \frac{3}{4} \) as @Calcmathlete says...:)
Yeah. For some reason, everyone teaches which one is a and which one is b differently...some say a is always negative, some say a is always with x, and it's just confusing. THis way, I can figure it out with out them.
i thought this was a left/right branch hyperbola... it turns out the the positive term is y^2 so this is an up/down branch hyperbola....
Yeah.
im gonna give my teacher a headlock.
lol
I gotta go to bed. :/ See ya.
Thanks so much!
