asymptotes of (y^2)/4-(x^2)/(16)=1

asymptotes

y = \frac{x}{2}, y = - \frac{x}{2}

Solution steps

y = \pm \frac{a}{b} (x - h) + k

Calculate Hyperbola properties

\frac{y ^{2}}{4} - \frac{x ^{2}}{16} = 1 :

Up-down Hyperbola with

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 2, b = 4

y = \frac{2}{4} (x - 0) + 0, y = - \frac{2}{4} (x - 0) + 0

Refine

y = \frac{x}{2}, y = - \frac{x}{2}
