Answer

Vertices: $(0,±6)$ Asymptotes: $y=±\frac{3}{5}x$

Work Step by Step

Standard form when transverse axis is vertical: $\frac{y^2}{a^2}-\frac{x^2}{b^2}=1$ $a^2=36$ $a=6$ $b^2=100$ $b=10$ Vertices when transverse axis is vertical: $(0,±a)=(0,±6)$ Asymptotes when transverse axis is vertical: $y=±\frac{a}{b}x$ $y=±\frac{6}{10}x=±\frac{3}{5}x$
