Question

Use vertices and asymptotes to graph the hyperbola. Find the equations of the asymptotes.

y = ± square root of x^2 - 5

Answer 1

A. Asymptotes: y = ± x
B. Asymptotes: y = ± 5/3 x
C. Asymptotes: y = ± 5/3 x
D. Asymptotes: y = ± x

Answer 2

so it's \(y^2=x^2 - 5\),
\(x^2- y^2= 5\)
asymptotes are y = ± x and it's a horizontal hyperbola.

Answer 3

so it would be d?
