Answer:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{20^2} -\frac{y^2}{13^2} =1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a hyperbola has its centre at (0,0)

Asymptote = y =13x/20

Vertex is on x axis thus a =20

Hence hyperbola will have equation as

[tex]\frac{x^2}{20^2} -\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1[/tex]

Asymptotes would be

[tex]\frac{x^2}{20^2} -\frac{y^2}{b^2} =0[/tex]

Or y=bx/20

Comparing with given equation we get b =13

Hence asymptote would have equation as

[tex]\frac{x^2}{20^2} -\frac{y^2}{13^2} =1\\\frac{x^2}{400} -\frac{y^2}{169} =1[/tex]
