Conic Sections: Hyperbolas

Symmetry of a Hyperbola

hyperbola opening left and right with red dotted vertical line through the center labeled Vertical Asymptote and red dotted horizontal line through the center labeled Horizontal Asymptote

hyperbola opening up and down with red dotted vertical line through the center labeled Vertical Asymptote and red dotted horizontal line through the center labeled Horizontal Asymptote

Hyperbolas have two axes of symmetry, one vertical line of symmetry and one horizontal line of symmetry. These occurs at x = h and y = k.
