Help me find the asymptotes of hyperbola, please. Thanks :) Equation below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no equation below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{16x^2}{400} - \frac{25y^2}{400} =1\]

@panlac01 well I was typing it :) Lol.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

divide the bottoms by the tops for starter

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{x^2}{400/16} - \frac{y^2}{400/25} =1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{x^2}{25} - \frac{y^2}{16} =1\] :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sneaky aint they

OpenStudy (amistre64):

since the x part is positive (not being subtracted) this thing rides along the x axis
