A manufacturing technician is reviewing the geometric specifications for a new line of curved structural components. Match each characteristic of a horizontal hyperbola centered at the origin $(0, 0)$ with its correct mathematical property or description as defined in the technical manual.

An architectural drafter is programming a CNC machine to cut a custom structural support. The design manual specifies that the cut must follow a horizontal hyperbola centered at the origin, $(0, 0)$, with the branches opening left and right along the $x$-axis. To accurately model this shape in the drafting software, which standard form equation should the drafter recall and enter?

A manufacturing technician is evaluating a part design modeled by the equation rac{x^2}{a^2} - rac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, centered at the origin $(0, 0)$. True or False: According to this mathematical model, the curved edge of the part will have no $y$-intercepts.
