The vertices are
The foci are
the asymptotes are
Explanation:
Looking at the equation, this is an up-down hyperbola
and, we compare to the standard equation
The center is
The vertices are
The slopes of the asymptotes are
The equations of the asymptotes are
The equations of the asymptotes are
To calculate the foci, we need
The foci are
And the foci are
