Answer

Fill the blanks with $y=\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}x$ ... $y=-\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}x$.

Work Step by Step

The hyperbola $\displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ has a horizontal transverse axis and two asymptotes $y=\displaystyle \frac{b}{a}x$ and $y=-\displaystyle \frac{b}{a}x$. ---------- $\displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{2^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{3^{2}}=1$ $a=2, \quad b=3.$ The asymptotes are $y=\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}x$ and $y=-\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}x$. Fill the blanks with $y=\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}x$ ... $y=-\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}x$.
