(x-8)²/1 - (y+6)²/1 = 1
center (8,-6)
vertices (7,-6) and (9, -6)........(at 8 ± 1)
foci (8 ± √2, -6)
asymptotes with slope ± 1 passing through (8, -6), so
y + 6 = ±(x - 8)

The formula for a pair of hyperbolas that open sideways with center (h,k) in standard form is:
(x - h)²/a² + (y - k)²/b² = 1
The center (h,k) = (8,-6).
a = 1
b = 1
c² = a² + b² = 1 + 1 = 2
c = â2
The foci are (h-c, k) and (h+c, k).
(8-â2, -6) and (8+â2, -6)
The vertices are (h-a, k) and (h+a, k).
(7, -6) and (9, -6)
The slopes of the asymptotes is m = ây/âx = ±b/a.
m = ±1/1 = ±1
The asymptotes go thru the center of the hyperbola so their equations are:
y + 6 = ±(x - 8)
y = x - 14
and
y = -x + 2
