Identifying Asymptotes for a Hyperbolic Arch

An architectural drafter is sketching a hyperbolic arch defined by the equation x225y24=1\frac{x^2}{25} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1. Recalling the standard procedure for graphing a hyperbola centered at (0,0)(0, 0), what are the exact equations of the two asymptotes that the drafter must sketch through the diagonals of the central rectangle?
