Answer:

y^2/ 25 - x^2 / 9 = 1

Explanation:

Th standard form of a hyperbola is


((y-h)^2)/(a^2)-((x-k)^2)/(b^2)=1

where (h,k ) are the coordinates of the centre and a and b are two constants.

The coordinates of the vertices are


(h,k\pm a)

and the equation of the asymptote is


y-(a)/(b)(x-h)+k

Now, the coordinates of the center for our hyperbola are (0,0); therefore,


(h,k)=(0,0)

and the coordinates of the vertices we get from the graph are


(h,k\pm a)=(0,\pm5)
\therefore a=5

Finally, the equation for the asymptote we get from the graph is


y=(5)/(3)x

meaning


b=3

Hence,

h = 0,

b = 0,

a = 5,

b = 3

thereofore, the equation of the hyperbola is


((y-0)^2)/(5^2)-((x-0)^2)/(3^2)=1
(y^2)/(25)-(x^2)/(9)^{}=1

which is our answer!
