Asymptotes of a hyperbola are the lines that pass through center of the hyperbola. The formula is y=+or- (b/a)x.

There is no particular formula for finding asymptote of hyperbola. But there is a condition i.e., asymptote equation and hyperbola equations are differ by constant.

(x - 3)2/4 - (y + 1)2/25 = 1. Set this equal to 0 and factor to get:- ((x - 3)/2 + (y + 1)/5)((x - 3)/2 - (y + 1)/5) = 0. Separate each factor and solve to find the equations of the asymptotes:- (x - 3)/2 + (y + 1)/5 = 0 ? y = -5/2x + 13/2 ((x - 3)/2 - (y + 1)/5) = 0 ? y = 5/2x - 17/2.

Let me tell you in step wise:- step 1 : Write down the equation of the hyperbola in standard form. step 2 : Set the equation equal to zero instead of one. step 3 : Factor the new equation. step 4 : Separate the factors and solve for y Try it for difficult sums also. Hope you will understand .

Good Tutor

y = +/- (b/a)(x - h) + k.

Physics

y -- 2 = ± (3/4)(x + 3).

y = +-(b/a)*x for x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1.

Hyperbolas only have asymptotes neither parabolas nor ellipse. Though parabolas and hyperbolas are very similar, parabolas are formed by the distance from a point and the distance to a line being the same. Hence, parabolas don’t have asymptotes. For horizontal hyperbola, the asymptotes are given by the...

Hyperbolas only have asymptotes neither parabolas nor ellipse. Though parabolas and hyperbolas are very similar, parabolas are formed by the distance from a point and the distance to a line being the same. Hence, parabolas don’t have asymptotes. For horizontal hyperbola, the asymptotes are given by the line with the equation:- Y = ±b/a (x-h) + k. For vertical hyperbola, the asymptotes have the equation:- Y = ±a/b (x-h) + k. Note that b/a and a/b are the slopes of the lines and k is the y coordinate of the center. read less
