see the section on hyperbolas.

For x^2/25 - y^2/4 = 1

a^2 = 25,
b^2 = 4

Your asymptotes will be \[\large y = \pm \frac{ b }{ a }x\]

Answer 2

4/25?

Answer 3

a^2 = 25,
b^2 = 4

those are a and b squared. You need to find a and b (take the square root)

Answer 4

5/2x and -5/2x

Answer 5

?

Answer 6

Almost... but it should be the other way around... \[\large y = \pm \frac{ b }{ a }x\]
a^2 = 25, so a = 5
b^2 = 4, so b =2

Answer 7

ohhh ok tht makes sense lol

Answer 8

Good :D
