General Transformations
HYPERBOLA
Sketching a Hyperbola
Learners need to know that when sketching /drawing a hyperbola
 Shape is important
 Intercepts must be labelled
 Asymptotes (Horizontal & Vertical) must be indicated using dash lines and the
values where it intercepts the axis must be given.
 Include only the required information on the Cartesian Plane
Steps in sketching

Asymptotes
 Based on the equation of the function, the learner must show that the V sy is
given by: x = - p (not x = p) and Hasy y = q.
 When writing the equation of the asymptote don’t just writing of values i.e.2
& 3 should but it should be V sy x = 2 and Horizontal AsymptoteaHasy y = 3
They must be written as an equation.
