Find the asymptote of -4x^2 +y^2 -2y = 3 with a postive slope. Answer should be in y=mx+b form .
I was gettiing confused when trying to simplify the equation in to the equation of a hyperbola.
-4x^2 +y^2 -2y = 3 rewrite as
y^2 - 2y - 4x^2 = 3 complete the square on y
y^2 - 2y + 1 - 4x^2 = 3 + 1
(y - 1)^2 - 4x^2 = 4 divide both sides by 4
(y - 1)^2 - x^2
______ ____ = 1
4 1
In this form, a = 2 , b = 1 h = 0 k = 1
The equation of the asymptote with the positive slope is
y = (a/b) ( x - h) + k ....so...
y = (2/1) ( x - 0) + 1
y = 2x + 1
