    You are given the equation 36 = 9x² + 4y². You are asked to find the slopes of the asymptotes of the hyperbola. A hyperbola has the following general equation x²/a² + y²/b² = 1. the goal here is to find the slopes of the hyperbolic equation. So divide both sides by 36

    36 = 9x² + 4y²

    (1/36) [36 = 9x² + 4y²]

    1 = x²/4 + y²/9

    a² = 4

    a = 2

    and

    b² = 9

    b = 3

    To find the slope, divide a/b and you will get 2/3.
