y216−(x−2)29=1

The first step here is to simply compare our equation to the standard form of
the hyperbola and identify all the important information. For reference
purposes here is the standard form of the hyperbola that matches the one we
have here.

(y−k)2b2−(x−h)2a2=1(y−k)2b2−(x−h)2a2=1

Comparing our equation to this we can see we have the following information.

h=2k=0a=3b=4h=2k=0a=3b=4

Because the yy term is the positive term we know that this hyperbola will open
up and down.

Hide Step 2 

With the information we found in the first step we can see that the center of
the hyperbola is (2,0)(2,0).

The vertices of hyperbola are : (2,−4)(2,−4) and (2,4)(2,4).

The equations of the two asymptotes are,

y=0+43(x−2)=43x−83y=0−43(x−2)=−43x+83
