Axes of symmetry are lines that divide a figure into two mirror-image halves. In hyperbolas, these axes typically refer to the transverse and conjugate axes.
Transverse Axis: The line segment passing through both foci and vertices of a hyperbola.
Conjugate Axis: The line segment perpendicular to the transverse axis that intersects it at the center.
Asymptote: A line that a curve approaches as it heads towards infinity, intersecting at angles with axes of symmetry in hyperbolas.
