Answer:
D. y²/5² - x²/8² = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A and B are both incorrectly oriented, and D is the only hyperbola that contains the points (0,5) and (0,-5).
Verification (0,5) and (0,-5) are in the hyperbola:
First replace x and y with corresponding x and y values (We will start with x=0 and y=5)
Then simplify.
If the result is an equation (where both sides are equal to each other) then the original x and y values inputted are valid. The same is true with x and y inputs x=0 and y=-5, or any other point along the hyperbola.
