The center is
The vertices are (-3,0)
The foci are
The asymptotes are
Explanation:
We compare this equation
to
The center is
The vertices are
To find the foci, we need the distance from the center to the foci
The foci are
The asymptotes are
graph{((x^2)/9-(y^2)/16-1)(y-4/3x)(y+4/3x)=0 [-16.02, 16.02, -8.01, 8.01]}
