5.21 would just be 5 or 5.2 depending on what place you need to round.
The equation for a hyperbola is (x-h)/a - (y-k)/b = 1
Or (y-k)/a - (x-h)/b = 1
h represents the x value of the coordinate
k value represents the y value of the coordinate
together they represent a point, which is the center
So (h,k) is (x,y)
The asymptote is y-k = +/- b/a (x-h)
The transverse is the line that goes through the hyperbola.
Answer:
Slope = 4/3x; y-intercept = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
y + 1 = 4/3x
You have to write this equation in slope-intercept form (solve for y) if you want to find the slope and y-intercept
y + 1 = 4/3x
Subtract one from both sides
y + 1 - 1 = 4/3x - 1
y = 4/3x - 1
Now that we have the equation, you can now find the slope and y-intercept
y = mx + b; m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
So for y = 4/3x - 1, the slope is 4/3x and the y-intercept is -1
