Answer 1

@Nnesha

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure this is suppossed to be a hyperbola, but I don't understand how to graph it

Answer 3

type your equation into desmos.com and it does it for you!

Answer 4

I don't want an online graph, I want to know how to

Answer 6

ohhhh gotcha

Answer 7

It's been a while since I've done that sorry lol

Answer 8

@Vocaloid

Answer 9

when I factor out x^2 - y^2 = 36, I get:
(x-y) (x+y) = 6^2

Answer 10

thats not gonna work
you need to find vertices foci , and the equation for a line

Answer 11

How do I approach that?

Answer 12

first of all is it horizontal or vertical ? do you know ?

Answer 13

^without looking at the graph )
\[\large\rm \frac{ (x-h)^2 }{ a^2 }-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1\]
if x comes first then its gonna be horizontal transverse axis

Answer 14

or if the y comes first \[\large\rm \frac{ (y-k)^2 }{ a^2 }-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1\]
