Let X = x – l and Y = y – hthen the equation becomes
which means that, with respect to the new center 0’(l,h), the graph of the function is the same as the original.

• when x +∞ or x - ∞then y h (±)
the line y = h is an asymptote for (H)
• when x l (±) then y ±∞the line x = l is an asymptote for (H)
• The point (l,h) intersection of the two asymptotes is the center of symmetry of the hyperbola.

• Formulas : l = and h =
• In fact one can find the asymptotes by looking for the limits of the function in the original form.•Then it’s not necessary to change the form to be able to plot the graph.
