Point 4 of 5

22.2.4 When k>0: First and Third Quadrants

Core idea

When k is positive, the two branches sit upper-right and lower-left, with x and y sharing a sign, like a pair of good partners.

Module goal. Plot the hyperbola point by point and get to know its shape: two separate branches that never touch the axes.
