A hyperbola consists of a symmetrical arrangement of two curves, each
convex on one side which faces toward the other, like ") (". An asymptote
is a straight line. A hyperbola, for example, has two asymptotes, which
cross at the figure's center of symmetry, like ")X(".

hyperbolas are mirror images of what would be the the asymptote and a
line perpendicular to the asymptote, never hitting the 0,0 X,Y
centerpoint.

asymetric arcs. Asymptotes run thru the 0,0 X,Y centerpoint, where
hyperbolas are mirror images of what would be the the asymptote and a
line perpendicular to the asymptote, never hitting the 0,0 X,Y
centerpoint.
