Determining Equation Of Hyperbola

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the value of q in the equation y = a / (x + q) by determining the position of the asymptote. • Solve for the value of a in the equation y = a / (x + q) by substituting a point on the hyperbola into the equation. • Determine the values of m and n in the equation y = m / x + n from a graph of the hyperbola. • Sketch the graph of y = m / x + n, including the asymptote. • Write the final equation of a hyperbola given its graph.
