Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the hyperbola can be written as ...
((x -h)/a)² -((y -k)/b)² = 1
This has asymptotes ...
(x -h)/a ± (y -k)/b = 0
Solving for y, we have ...
y = ±(b/a)(x -h) +k
Filling in the given values a=6, b=8, h=1, k=2, we have ...
y = ±8/6(x -1) +2

The answer to this question is 2.
There's no such concept as "close" in mathematics. Or at least, you have to specify when you consider two numbers to be "close".
All we can say is that, since 3/4=0.75, the two numbers are

units apart. Is this small enough to consider them as "close"? Is this big enough to consider them not to be "close"?
You should clarify more what you mean so that a definitive answer can be given.
