Answer:

A hyperbola has two curves that are like infinite bows where these two curves are a mirror image of each other.

We can also get a hyperbola by slicing through a double cone. But the slice should be deeper than that of a parabola.

When we place the hyperbola on an x y graph, we get the equation:

[tex]\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } -\frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} } =1[/tex]
