Well now I know what it is

k.binks · Answer

That's great, but could you explain it to me

danjs · Answer

For those Hyperbolas,   the slopes will be + or - b/a
where b is half the vertical dotted part
where a is half the horizontal dotted part...

danjs · Answer

here is a decent explanation how that is... http://www.purplemath.com/modules/hyperbola.htm
