Question

work as directed

give the equation for the asymptotes of the hyperbola x^2/49 - y^2/12 =1

asymptotes equations are?

Answer 1

the slope of a line is defined as y/x

the slope of the asymptotes are defined by the sqrt of the under y, divided by the under x

Answer 2

\[\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1\]
\[Asymp_{slope}=\frac ba\]

Answer 3

define the lines by anchoring that +- slope to the h,k center point
