Steps are given to locate asymptotes of hyperbola if its axis and focus are given. Arrange the steps. i. Draw a perpendicular AB to axis at vertex. ii. OG and OE are required asymptotes. iii. With O midpoint of axis (centre) taking radius as OF (F is focus) draw arcs cutting AB at E, G. iv. Join O, G and O, E.

Asymptotes pass through centre is the main point and then the asymptotes cut the directrix and perpendiculars at focus are known and simple. Next comes is where the asymptotes cuts the perpendiculars, it is at distance of centre to vertex and centre to focus respectively.
