Identify the vertices and asymptotes of the hyperbola. x2−y2=36x ^ { 2 } - y ^ { 2 } = 36x2y2=36

A) vertices: (6,−6) ,(6,6) ( 6 , - 6 ) , ( 6,6 ) (6,6) ,(6,6) asymptotes: y=−6x,y=x6y = - 6 x , y = \frac { x } { 6 }y=6x,y=6x
B) vertices: (−36,0) ,(36,0) ( - 36,0 ) , ( 36,0 ) (36,0) ,(36,0) asymptotes: y=−x,y=xy = - x , y = xy=x,y=x
C) vertices: (0,−6) ,(0,6) ( 0 , - 6 ) , ( 0,6 ) (0,6) ,(0,6) asymptotes: y=−6x,y=x6y = - 6 x , y = \frac { x } { 6 }y=6x,y=6x
D) vertices: (−6,0) ,(6,0) ( - 6,0 ) , ( 6,0 ) (6,0) ,(6,0) asymptotes: y=−x,y=xy = - x , y = xy=x,y=x
E) vertices: (0,−6) ,(0,6) ( 0 , - 6 ) , ( 0,6 ) (0,6) ,(0,6) asymptotes: y=−x,y=xy = - x , y = xy=x,y=x

Vertices

The plural of vertex, referring to the corners or intersecting points of geometric shapes or graphs.

Hyperbola

A type of smooth curve lying in a plane, consisting of two branches, which are mirror images of each other, and asymptotically approaching fixed lines.

Asymptotes

Asymptotes are lines that a graph approaches but never reaches, illustrating behavior towards infinity or certain points within the domain.
