Checkpoint: Hyperbolas Solution

Mark the center, asymptotes, and the vertices and co-vertices on the graph for the equation:  $\frac{{(x + 3)}^{2}}{25} - \frac{{(y + 2)}^{2}}{121} = 1$

Center $(- 3, - 2)$  
$a = 5 b = 11$

Write the equation of the asymptotes in point-slope form. 

$y + 2 = \pm \frac{11}{5} (x + 3)$

Note

Q: Is the given hyperbola horizontal or vertical?
A: Horizontal 

Q: What are the ordered pairs for the vertices?
A: $(- 8, - 2)$ and $(2, - 2)$
