Hyperbolas Opens Left/Right Center: (h, k) Vertices: (h + a, k) and (h – a, k) Horizontal Transverse Axis Length: 2a
Hyperbolas Foci: (h + c, k) and (h – c, k) Equations of Asymptotes:
Hyperbolas Opens Up/Down Center: (h, k) Vertices: (h, k + a) and (h, k – a) Vertical Transverse Axis Length: 2a
Hyperbolas Foci: (h, k + c) and (h, k – c) Equations of Asymptotes:
Hyperbolas To determine which equations to use look at what variable comes first in the equation (x or y) A hyperbola looks like two parabolas opening in opposite directions.
