Respuesta :

the transverse axis is the distance between the two vertices ( where the lines cross the  x axis)

the one on the left is at (0,-9) the one on the right is st (0,9)

distance between -9 and 9 = 18

the length of the transverse axis is 18

The length of the transverse axis is 18 units.

What is the transverse axis of a hyperbola?

"The transverse axis is a line segment that passes through the center of the hyperbola and has vertices as its endpoints."

Given, the vertices of the hyperbola are at (-9, 0) and (9, 0).

Therefore, the length of the transverse axis is

[tex]= (9+9) units\\= 18 units[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the transverse axis is 18 units.
