A hyperbola with equation of
( x + 4 ) 2 a 2 − ( y + 4 ) 2 b 2 = 1 \displaystyle \frac{{\left({x}+{4}\right)}^{{2}}}{{a}^{{2}}}-\frac{{\left({y}+{4}\right)}^{{2}}}{{b}^{{2}}}={1} a 2 ( x + 4 ) 2 − b 2 ( y + 4 ) 2 = 1 has an asymptote with equation of
y = 9 8 x + 1 2 \displaystyle {y}=\frac{{9}}{{8}}{x}+\frac{{1}}{{2}} y = 8 9 x + 2 1 .
