Question

What conic section is represented by the equation `y^2/9-x^2/16=1`?

Answer 1

Vertical Hyperbola, center are `(0,0)`

Explanation:

It's a vertical hyperbola, because

1) There is a minus between 2 variables
2) Both variables are square
3) Equation equal to 1
4) if `y` is positive, `x` is negative, vertical hyperbola like this
graph{(y^2)/9 - (x^2)/16 = 1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
