The equation is .

Compare it to the standard form of the hyperbola .

Here transverse axis is parallel to the axis.

is the center of the hyperbola.

.

is the distance between center and focus.

.

The center of the hyperbola is .

The vertices of the hyperbola are .

The foci of the hyperbola are .

Find the points to form a rectangle.

.

.

The extensions of the diagonals of the rectangle are the asymptotes

of the hyperbola.

Asymptotes will provide the end behavior of the hyperbola.

Asymptotes of the hyperbola are .

Substitute the values of in .

Asymptotes are .
