    Hyperbola equation:

    (x-h) ²/a² - (y-k) ²/b² = 1

    In our case h & k = 0 & the equation become x²/a² - y²/b² = 1

    ==> x²/36 p - y²/25 = 1 (with a=6 & b=5)

    1) since a>b==> the hyperbola opens right & left

    2) The formula of the asymptotes is y₁=k+b/a (x-h) & y₂=k-b/a (x-h)

    Since h=k=0 then the equations of the hyperbola are y₁ = (6/5) x & y₂ = (-6/5) x
