Find the values of a and b, the locations of the directrices and the eccentricity

13. The hyperbola with equation x 2/a2 − y 2/ b 2 = 1 has asymptotes y = ± 4/3 x and foci (±11, 0). Find the values of a and b, the locations of the directrices and the eccentricity.

Hint
Mathematics"Eccentricity: It is basically a measure of how much the deviation of the curve occurred from the circularity of the shape given. The formula for any conic section to find out the eccentricity is:           Eccentricity, e = c/ain which,c = distance to the focus from the centre, and a = distance to the vertex from the centre."...
